IR Window
Custom Application Products (CAP)

Who says infrared windows have to be round...

In the past, round, Infrared (IR) windows were typically no larger than 4 inches due to the inherent limitations of crystal materials used in the manufacturing of windows...i.e., the larger the crystal, the more fragile it becomes.

Our Innovations in the materials used in the IRISS VPFR series, "The World's Only Industrial-Grade Infrared Window" combined with the inherent durability and transmission stability are the cornerstone of the IRISS CAP Range of products. Today, because of the stability of design and transmission, IRISS is producing and engineering IR windows that are customized to the application - rather than trying to manage the application to the limitations of the size or shape of the IR windows readily available for use.

The IRISS CAP series of Infrared windows now come in standard sizes of 6, 12 and 24 inches and allows for more freedom to inspect multiple components through one Infrared window, thus reducing the number of IR windows required and the installation time and costs associated with them.

At IRISS, your safety and compliance with regulations and protocols is always at the forefront of our Research and Development. The full IRISS CAP Range offers innovation to create products that are simply "safer by design".

World's first impact resistant Infrared and Visual Inspection Window

When you require a visual inspection at the same time as your IR inspection, the IRISS CAP-V Series should be your window of choice. There are a number of tests that have to be completed to allow the assembly to comply with the mandatory requirements of IEEE C37 20.0.a.3.6 and UL746C and the IR lens incorporated in the IRISS CAP series was designed to comply with these standards. IRISS now incorporates an impact resistant clear poly carbonate lens in the CAP-V that meets these mandatory impact, load and flammability requirements. (Something that NO crystal IR window can accomplish.)

Include Steel Covers for Added Durability and Protection...

The IRISS CAP-VC series offers the ability to specify locking protective covers for your IR Window.

These are especially useful in areas of high traffic and protect the IR and visual viewing panes from impact, flying debris and dust.

Standard hinged covers offer locking capabilities and protect the IR Viewing panes and are available in the entire CAP series.

Because of the customization available in the IRISS CAP series, we have the CAP-VCH range to offer Protective covers for the IR inspection and visual viewing pane with a single door.

For more information on this and the entire CAP series please contact your local representative.

Easily Monitor

• UPS System.
• Long rows of connections.
• Multiple connections located close to panel cover.
• Commutator Slippage.
• Couplings under guards.
• Mechanical systems behind polycarbonate or metal guards.
• Just about anything else you can dream up.

Features

• Based on the same patented design as the VPFR.
• Stable transmission rate -  proven compatibility with acids, alkalis, UV, moisture, humidity, vibration and high frequency noise.
• Reinforcing grills comply with IP2x standard for safe hole size for fail-safe design.
• Versatile & rugged.

The Custom Application Panel (CAP) solution from IRISS was specifically designed to exceed the demands of the industrial and building maintenance community.  The window panes are impact resistant and maintain a stable transmission rate.

The CAP series uses the same patented design and construction as the VPFR industrial-grade viewing panes - the ONLY impact resistant IR windows on the market today.

• IEEE C37.20.2 (A.3.6)
• UL746C

Control Risk While Inspecting Power Distribution Panels (PDUs)

Removing the covers from electrical panels or even mechanical gaurds from rotating equipment is a risky business. The IRISS CAP solutions allow thermographers to electrical connections, rotating joints or bearing caps while leaving the main covers in place. The result is a safer, faster and virtually risk-free inspection that can enable thermographers to catch otherwise hidden faults before they result in costly downtime.

Our clients are using the CAP Solutions extensively in a variety of applications, not just electrical inspections:

• Motor Commutator Block Inspection
• Transmissive panels for metal cladding in switchgear
• Mechanical guards
• Large area IR windows for applications that are close to the window
• Rotating Joints
• Bearings
• Virtually anything you need to inspect with an IR camera.....
