iMOD THiNCAP ultracapacitor module for power conditioning applications
Ioxus has announced it is offering thin-cell ultracapacitor modules for power conditioning and AGV (automated guided vehicle) applications. Ioxus THiNCAP iMOD modules consist of high-power, thin, flexible ultracapacitor packs, instead of cylindrical cells, making them attractive for a variety of applications where a small form factor is valuable. The modules save space and weight, benefiting users with a reduced total cost of ownership, longer life, higher cycle count, wider operational temperature range, and reduced maintenance requirements compared to batteries.
With smaller footprints, the THiNCAP iMOD modules allow for flexible product development across a wide variety of markets. They are well suited for power conditioning and voltage-sag compensation in short-term UPSs to protect against voltage disruptions and ensure a smooth power supply to factory equipment and mission-critical applications. These applications can include telecommunications, silicon processing, food production, renewable energy, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, AGVs and robotics benefit from the quick charge and long life of the Ioxus modules, cutting charge times in half and increasing productivity and operating time while eliminating the need for battery replacement or charging. The cell design can also reduce cooling requirements as it allows for heat mitigation through double-sided cooling. Ioxus customers—including TMEIC (Toshiba Mitsubishi Electric Industrial System Corporation), RICOH, Sanyo Denki, and General Electric—use the THiNCAP iMOD modules for numerous applications such as power conditioning, copy machines, and peak-power shaving systems. Key features and benefits of the THiNCAP iMOD modules for AGV applications include:
