TAKASAGO, LTD. (President: Fumihiro Isobe) today announced the launch of its new Battery Cycler and Emulation Test System, the RZ-X2-100K-HG, for the U.S. market. The system is a high-voltage, high-current platform integrating advanced charge/discharge testing and battery emulation capabilities in a single unit.
Building on the proven performance of the hybrid power supply “RZ-X2-100K-H,” widely adopted by customers in Japan, the new model has been specifically adapted to meet U.S. safety standards. With its superior electrical performance and outstanding scalability, the system enables highly realistic and dynamic test environments that closely replicate real-world automotive battery and powertrain conditions. When combined with the optional control software LinkAnyArts, users can tailor system configurations to specific application requirements. In addition, support for SCPI-based external control allows seamless integration into existing automated test systems.
As the automotive industry accelerates electrification in pursuit of carbon neutrality, innovation is advancing rapidly from all-solid-state batteries to highly integrated e-Axles powered by next-generation semiconductors. At the same time, global market requirements are becoming increasingly diverse, with HEVs and PHEVs continuing to play a key role alongside BEVs depending on regional demand. In this evolving environment, there is growing demand for flexible and scalable test systems capable of reproducing dynamic, real-world vehicle operating conditions with high accuracy.
As part of its strategic expansion into the U.S. market, TAKASAGO developed the RZ-X2-100K-HG to meet local safety requirements while delivering the performance expected by advanced automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
“The U.S. market represents an important milestone in our global growth strategy,” said Fumihiro Isobe, President of TAKASAGO, LTD. “With the RZ-X2-100K-HG, we aim to provide automotive manufacturers and suppliers with a highly flexible and scalable test solution that meets both performance and safety expectations.”
To support customers in North America, the company has established a dedicated sales and service structure through DEWETRON Inc., part of the Anritsu Group, which serves as its U.S. import and distribution base.
Key Features of the RZ‑X2‑100K‑HG
