Electric vehicles are conquering the world and Lithium-ion batteries are finding their way into warehouses and assembly halls. However, the production, storage, recycling and transportation of energy storage systems pose risks if, for example, a fire occurs due to thermal runaways. Thermography is one of the methods used to prevent such scenarios.

In April 2024, the process of constructing the new extension building at InfraTec GmbH Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik reached its completion after less than two and a half years. In addition to new offices, spacious production and development areas for thermography cameras and infrared detectors have been established over a total area of 2700 m².

Pyroelectric detectors based on high-quality, single-crystalline lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) for analytical devices have been part of the InfraTec portfolio for over 20 years. Now InfraTec delivers the performance boost for FTIR spectroscopy with the high-performance, pyroelectrically sensitive material DLaTGS (deuterated L-alanine doped triglycine sulphate).

The inspection of electronic components and assemblies by using active thermography is an established method for troubleshooting and quality assurance – from prototype development to series production.

The PyrIQ® Evaluation Kit from InfraTec supports customers in the initial testing of the digital PyrIQ® detectors without the otherwise required development of software, firmware and test circuits. The associated software allows the detector and IR source parameters to be set via an intuitive graphical user interface.
