Commonly referred to as cold shields, infrared (IR) radiation shields are now part of NiCoForm’s expanding product line. These components are used to protect detectors found in IR cameras, guidance systems and other IR devices from stray radiation.

Electroformed as multi-layer structures of copper, NiColoy® or nickel, and gold, sometimes containing internal baffles, the shields usually have tight dimensional and weight tolerances. Their internal and external surfaces are often coated, respectively, with low and high emissivity coatings, although other configurations and finishes are available upon request.

NiCoForm has developed proprietary deep black and bright gold coatings on par with the best in the industry. Our precision CNC machining capabilities and advanced electroforming technology allow us to combine tight dimensional and weight tolerances with high process yields, resulting in quick turnaround times on competitively priced components.
