Thermoteknix Systems Ltd – a British manufacturer of infrared (IR) imaging and thermal measurement based hardware, systems and software applications.
, UK.
In 1998 Thermoteknix were recognized by the "Queen's Award
For Export Achievement", and in 2008 by the "Queen's Award
for Enterprise (Innovation)". In 2009 BBC FOCUS magazine rewarded Thermoteknix with BBC FOCUS Award for its “Thermal imaging equipment”.
In September 2004 one of the Thermoteknix infrared cameras assisted with the cleanup after Hurricanes Charley and Frances in Florida, USA. In 2005 Thermoteknix became technical partner of Red Bull Cheever Racing
for the Indianapolis 500. A Thermoteknix camera was selected for use on the target missile in the November 2005’s Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) intercept test. The same cameras and technology were also used in Formula 1. In June 2006 Thermoteknix camera was used in the Seaworld amusement park in Orlando, Florida, to see if infrared thermography could spot the reason a killer whale was off its food and had lost its performing edge. In June 2009 one of the cameras made in Cambridge was blasted to the moon by NASA
in the quest to find water.
Systems | Miniature Radiometric & Rugged Thermal Imaging Cameras
Within Infrared Thermography in the early 1980s Thermoteknix developed electronic hardware and software. In 2002 they launched a portable infrared camera – the world’s first infrared camera with simultaneous video display, voice recording, Wi-Fi
and Touch-screen Operator interface for Predictive Maintenance. These models are used for Fever Screening at airports, Science and Real-time R&D.
Process Industry IR Monitoring Systems developed by Thermoteknix include an IR linescan and IR imaging video cameras, designed for long life and high performance accuracy in the harsh environments as cement plants, lime plants, paper mills, power plants and steel mills.
Miniature Radiometric & Rugged Thermal Imaging Cameras are developed for commercial and military industry which require small, low power radiometric cameras that survive in environmental extremes. These miniature IR cameras are installed in the fields of motor racing, rocketry and other applications.
