Drive Management Services Ltd (DMS), the condition based monitoring and asset management experts, has today announced they have been appointed an authorised agent for the range of Hawk IR Infrared Sightglasses. Hawk IR are the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of arc resistant infrared sightglasses for safe electrical inspections.

These Infrared Sightglasses enable engineers to inspect effectively, previously impossible to monitor control and distribution panels, without fully isolating these panels and in some occasions, closing down the complete plant!

Based on extensive research and development into the field of thermal imaging over the last 20 years, the "C" range of Infrared Sightglasses are manufactured from totally insoluble CLIRVU coated crystal optic material, hold a life time warranty and have successfully been tested to both ANSI and IEC standards for maximum safety.  The Sightglasses can be installed both indoors and outdoors, at all voltages and are independently tested to IP65 - EN60529.

DMS is a condition based monitoring and power transmission consultancy business that provides a range of Total Asset Management products and services designed to help clients proactively manage their critical plant machinery.  With various site service engineers operating throughout the UK providing expert support in condition based monitoring as well as full installation of their own developed continuous monitoring systems, this agency enables DMS to provide a complete thermal imaging service including the installation of these state of the art Infrared Sightglasses.

Allan Findlow - Sales Director from DMS said he was delighted that the company had become a major UK agent for Hawk-IR. "Our MachineCare condition based monitoring service is a first class program, developed to suit each individual client, understanding their requirements, whilst maintaining a high level of necessary expertise. The relationship with Hawk-IR is very exciting for both organisations, as DMS are able to install the Infrared Sightglasses at any site as part of the progressive service provided.  We believe that the development behind the "C" Range insoluble coated crystal Sightglasses is by far the best in the world and together with the services that we provide, will help firms to realise significant benefits from planned maintenance programmes."

Formed over four years ago, the company has some prestigious clients such as Premier Foods, the company behind almost all the tinned food sold in Britain's supermarkets, and Knauf, one of the world's largest plasterboard manufacturers.
