Thermal imaging camera

Outerspace’s multidisciplinary team worked with the managing director of LRM Technologies and researchers at DST Group, to design the 1mK thermal camera that quantifies the stresses that cause metal fatigue in aircraft. LRM, a distributor of lasers and thermal imaging cameras, own the licence to apply Defence Science and Technology group software to a thermal camera product idea. LRM’s managing director had a very clear idea about what the DST Group technology could achieve and needed a clear product roadmap to a successful physical product outcome. Outerspace collaborated with LRM and DST Group to clearly identify and plan the product format and pathway needed to create this revolutionary thermal camera.

Our innovative design utilises emerging technologies such as compact, low power longwave infrared, USB 3.1 and thermoelastic stress analysis algorithms. 1mK has an integrated visual camera for identifying a sample in its view such as a part of an aircraft fuselage. A thermal sensor captures thermal images of the metal undergoing stress and processing software analyses the thermal sensor data, creating a resultant digital stress map of the sample. The thermal camera enables superior structural performance sensing with its advanced features. It supercedes current technology in testing in the research, aerospace, defence and structural inspection markets with a powerful combination of accuracy, size and cost. The camera was launched under a new 1 milliKelvin brand, representing the unrivalled sensitivity and software solutions it can achieve. One milliKelvin equals 1/1000th (0.001) of one degree celsius, which the camera is able to resolve.
