Optris has expanded its CTi pyrometer portfolio with the introduction of the new CTi 1M and CTi 2M models.
The new solutions are said to be designed for demanding industrial environments and utilise infrared sensors to provide highly accurate non-contact temperature measurement for metals and high-temperature applications.
CTi 1M operates at a short wavelength of 1.0µm and covers temperature ranges from 350°C up to 2200°C, making it particularly suitable for steel, tungsten, iron and semiconductor processes. It is said to boast a fast exposure time of 110 µs and a response time of 320 µs, enabling reliable monitoring of rapid thermal processes and, with an optical resolution of up to 75:1, ensuring precise measurements at ‘longer distances.’
The CTi 2M model, meanwhile, complements the CT1 1M device with its 1.6 µm spectral range optimised for lower metal temperatures between 150°C and 2000°C. Its short-wavelength design helps to minimise deviations caused by emissivity changes and reflections, providing stable readings in real production environments, while a miniature sensing head and robust stainless steel construction allow it to be easily integrated into confined machinery installations.
Both CTi M models feature an even lower starting temperature than the previous CT series. They also follow Optris’ two-piece design with separated electronics, an integrated display, and easily accessible programming keys.
Optris has also introduced the CTi LTfast, a solution tailored for extremely fast control and monitoring applications. Covering a wide temperature range from
–50 °C to 1050 °C, the sensor delivers response times down to 6 ms, enabling precise monitoring of rapidly changing thermal processes.
“With the new CTi 1M, CTi 2M and CTi LTfast models, we are significantly expanding the flexibility of our CTi platform,” said Torsten Czech, Head of Marketing at Optris. “Customers benefit from optimised wavelength selection, extremely fast response times, and a compact, robust design that enables reliable temperature measurement across a wide range of industrial applications.”
