ADS-Tec Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, CEO: Yuki Kojima) will launch the **"X Series" infrared high-speed thermal cameras from Teledyne FLIR (hereafter, FLIR)** in the Japanese domestic market.
In research and development across various fields, rigorous testing is repeatedly conducted to confirm product stability. The purpose of these tests is to pursue product safety, reliability, and durability, and to verify in advance whether the products can perform their functions reliably even under severe conditions.
In such critical verifications, even a momentary event cannot be overlooked. This is because a loss of data could potentially lead to significant losses.
**The Rapidly Evolving Smart Energy Sector**
In recent years, technologies in the fields of EVs, batteries, semiconductors, and next-generation energy have been advancing rapidly. Consequently, accurately grasping the "mechanism of heat generation" has become a crucial factor determining a product's performance, safety, and reliability.
The "X6981-HS," newly added to FLIR's X Series, quantitatively captures everything from the origin of heat generation to its propagation process using time resolution on the order of microseconds to milliseconds and highly sensitive infrared measurement. This reveals information directly linked to design, such as localized energy concentration, thermal diffusion, and triggers for abnormality occurrence, rather than merely observing the phenomenon.
For example, it is now possible to capture areas that previously relied on speculation—such as the initial behavior of battery thermal runaway, the hot spot formation process in semiconductors, and the conditions for abnormal heat generation in power equipment—as actual measurement data.
The FLIR X6981-HS fundamentally elevates the precision and speed of the development process by supporting not just the "visualization" of thermal phenomena, but extending to "analysis" and "design optimization."
**■ Key Features of the FLIR X6981-HS**
- **Achieves up to 1000Hz at full resolution (640x512)**
- **Supports high-speed interfaces such as 10GigE, CXP2.1, and CameraLink**
- **Comes standard with a 4TB SSD, realizing over 1.5 hours of continuous recording without dropping frames**
- **Visualizes minute temperature changes with a high thermal resolution of approximately 20mK**
- **Capable of high-temperature measurements up to 3000°C**
**■ Applications in the Smart Energy Sector**
- **Battery (Storage Battery) Evaluation**
Contributes to safety evaluation and performance improvement by visualizing thermal behavior and abnormal heat generation during charging and discharging.
- **Thermal Analysis of Power Semiconductors and Power Equipment**
Precisely measures high-speed temperature changes in inverters and SiC/GaN devices.
- **Diagnostics of Renewable Energy Facilities**
Early detection of abnormal heat generation and deterioration in solar and wind power facilities.
- **Hydrogen and Next-Generation Energy Research**
Supports R&D through thermal distribution analysis of combustion and reaction processes.
