The capaNCDT TFG6220 measures the thickness of battery film with high precision and is used for quality testing in the form of offline random samples. The TFG6220 is pre-assembled ready for rapid deployment. The thickness is measured by two…

ThicknessGAUGE sensor systems are used for inline thickness measurement of strip materials. These are available with different sensor types, measuring ranges and measuring widths. This allows the thickness of various materials to be measured -…

In the production of lithium-ion batteries, separator films play a central role in the safety and performance of the cells. These highly specialized films separate the electrodes from each other and prevent internal short circuits, while at the…

The coating of electrode film is one of the decisive process steps for increasing the efficiency of modern batteries. The thinner the films, the higher the performance of the battery. The highest demands on process monitoring must be met: High…

Precise measurement of the terminals is of crucial importance in the production of batteries. After the binding post, shunt and bridge have been welded, the coplanarity of these three components is checked using the surfaceCONTROL 3500-80 3D…

The production of lithium-ion batteries requires maximum precision. In this ultra-modern manufacturing process, carrier films are combined with an anode and a cathode to form an energy cell. The anode consists of a copper film coated with a…

During the production of battery cells, electrode and separator films must be guided reliably. Optical optoCONTROL micrometers detect the required edge position for web edge control. Operating several micrometers enables the concurrent detection…

A consistently high quality of the electrode coating is crucial for the production of high-performance battery cells. OptoNCDT laser sensors are used to reliably monitor the thickness. These measure without contact and with high precision –…

Electrodes must be coated with extreme precision in order to maintain tight manufacturing tolerances. This is why laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon inspect the coating profile on the strip edge which enables the detection of anomalies and…

Films may have curvatures and deformations after longitudinal cutting. In order to detect these deviations reliably, laser profile sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. Laser scanners measure the profile of the film on the edge in order to…

Confocal chromatic sensors from Micro-Epsilon monitor the coating thickness of wet materials. Installing several sensors next to each other enables concurrent determination of the homogeneity of the coating over the complete strip width. Their…

After the battery cells have been assembled, laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon inspect their completeness and position. Therefore, a 3D image is generated which is then compared with the CAD data. As well as profile information in high…

scanCONTROL laser scanners inspect the presence and dimension of adhesive beading. They are mounted on the dispenser in order to control the quantity applied and the distance from the dispenser. Their high resolution enables them to reliably…
