Press Releases of InfraTec

On 28 August 2024, interested parties and thermographers from science and industry will have the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of thermography in the demanding field of research and development. 

Active thermography in combination with high-resolution infrared cameras is an elegant testing method to analyse measuring objects in a non-contact and non-destructive manner. As an optical measurement method, it enables fast defect detection and quality assurance – nearly regardless of the object material.

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).
