Sales Launch of Teledyne FLIR's High-Speed Infrared Thermal Camera 'X6981-HS'

ADS-TEC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Funabashi, Chiba; President: Yuki Kojima) is launching the 'X Series' of high-speed infrared thermal cameras from Teledyne FLIR (hereinafter 'FLIR') in the Japanese market. In various fields of R&D, rigorous testing is repeatedly conducted to ensure product stability. These tests aim to pursue safety, reliability, and durability, verifying that products can function reliably even under harsh conditions. In such critical verifications, even a split-second event cannot be missed, as data loss can lead to significant losses. Rapidly Evolving Smart Energy Sector: In recent years, technologies in EVs, batteries, semiconductors, and next-generation energy fields have advanced rapidly. Consequently, accurately grasping the 'heat generation mechanism' has become a crucial factor affecting product performance, safety, and reliability. The 'X6981-HS,' newly added to FLIR's X Series, quantitatively captures everything from the origin of heat generation to the propagation process through μs-ms order time resolution and high-sensitivity infrared measurement. This reveals information directly linked to design, such as local energy concentration, thermal diffusion, and triggers for anomalies, rather than mere observation. For example, it is possible to capture data on phenomena previously reliant on speculation, such as initial behavior of battery thermal runaway, semiconductor hotspot formation processes, and conditions for abnormal heat generation in power equipment. The FLIR X6981-HS supports not only the 'visualization' of thermal phenomena but also 'analysis' and 'design optimization,' fundamentally raising the precision and speed of the development process. Key Features of FLIR X6981-HS: - Max 1000Hz at full resolution (640x512) - Supports high-speed interfaces such as 10GigE, CXP2.1, and CameraLink - Standard 4TB SSD for over 1.5 hours of continuous recording without dropped frames - High temperature resolution of approx. 20mK to visualize minute temperature changes - Supports high-temperature measurement up to 3000°C. Applications in Smart Energy: - Battery Evaluation: Contributes to safety assessment and performance improvement by visualizing thermal behavior during charge/discharge. - Thermal Analysis of Power Semiconductors/Equipment: Precise measurement of high-speed temperature changes in inverters and SiC/GaN devices. - Renewable Energy Equipment Diagnosis: Early detection of abnormal heat and degradation in solar and wind power facilities. - Hydrogen/Next-Gen Energy Research: Supports R&D through thermal distribution analysis of combustion and reaction processes.
