Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC)

Description

Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC)
Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC) are specialized non-contact temperature measurement tools used to detect hidden heat signatures, electrical faults, and overheating battery cells. In high-voltage environments like Electric Vehicle (EV) breakdown recovery, battery manufacturing, and charging infrastructure, they serve as a critical early-warning tool to identify thermal runaway risks before visible flames or smoke appear.

Primary Applications in EV Handling

Battery Module Hotspot Detection: Scans the underbody of damaged EVs or charging ports to detect localized hotspots (50
∘
C–70
∘
C) before thermal runaway escalates.

Post-Accident Safety Assessment: Evaluates compromised battery packs at accident scenes prior to loading the vehicle onto flatbed trailers.

Continuous Monitoring During Transit: Tracks battery temperature during transport to alert operators immediately if temperatures rise unexpectedly.

High-Voltage Electrical Inspection: Identifies loose, corroded, or overloaded high-voltage cable connections and junction boxes.
