RotorWorks, LLC was founded to fulfill the need for aerial Infrared surveillance of Power lines. The advantages of using thermography have long been recognized in the electrical industry. The ability to see thermal problems before they become catastrophic failures is an invaluable tool, saving electrical utility companies millions of dollars and an increase in reliability.
Aerial infrared surveillance is performed by the use of a gyro stabilized system with the combination of the following equipment: Flir 3000 (infrared camera), digital and broadcast quality video camera.

Qwip Focal Plane Array
The ThermaCAM SC 3000 QWIP sensor, the most advanced detector technology
available, provides superior image resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.
The ThermaCAM SC 3000 camera utilizes an advanced Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector FPA sensor that provides extremely high sensitivity of less than 20 mK at 30 °C, ideal for applications requiring ultra-precise measurement accuracy.
Thermal imaging, also called thermography, is the
production of non-contact infrared or “heat” pictures from which
temperature measurements can be made. Portable infrared cameras scan
equipment and structures, then instantly convert the thermal images into
pictures in a JPEG format for monitoring and analysis. Thermal imaging
increases efficiency and maximizes safety in many industries and
environments and is rapidly expanding into new markets. Click
