Seeing Problems before they become a crisis

Typically Industrial Electrical and Mechanical problems start to occur when temperature values increase by 10 deg C or more above the norm.

Our state of the art equipment has the ability to detect temperature differentials as small as 0.08 deg C, using non-contact methods which are carried out whilst systems continue to operate normally, and without disruption to end users

Regular Infrared Monitoring of critical systems and equipment can be used to formulate Predictive Maintenance Procedures resulting in cost effective use of maintenance budgets and reducing the risk of unexpected, catastrophic, and costly failures and outages

 

Viewed in a different Light

Infrared radiation lies between the Visible (what our eyes can see) and Microwave portions of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

The primary source of Infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation and the ability to view this portion of the spectrum allows objects to be seen in a completely different dimension.

The ability to monitor systems and plant whilst active and under normal load conditions cannot be equalled by normal inspection and maintenance techniques which are normally performed when equipment is shut down or switched off

These examples demonstrate just how flexible and wide ranging the application of Thermal Imaging can be. The scope of the technology is such that there may well be applications we have not covered or potential usages we have not yet considered 

We welcome enquiries for alternative applications that may be specific to a clients needs and will make every effort to investigate whether our equipment can be used or adapted to satisfy a particular requirement
