Battery production
Energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role for the change in mobility and energy transition. In order to optimize the battery production, sensors are required which monitor the production line to the highest accuracy and dynamic. Micro-Epsilon offers reliable sensor technology from high precision distance sensors to infrared temperature measurement technology and 2D/3D profile sensors for multiple measurement tasks.
Web edge control of electrode film
Optical optoCONTROL micrometers detect the required edge position of electrode and separator films. Due to their high measuring rate, optoCONTROL micrometers are also suitable for monitoring dynamic production processes.
Show detailsThickness measurement of electrode coatings
In order to measure the thickness of electrode coatings, optoNCDT laser sensors are attached opposite the strip material. Based on synchronization combined with the precise sensor alignment, high measurement accuracy and measuring rates are achieved.
Show detailsCoating application on edges
In order to maintain tight manufacturing tolerances, laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon inspect the coating profile on the strip edge. This is how anomalies and undulations are detected. Modern interfaces allow for the scanCONTROL SMART sensors to be directly integrated into the control system.
Show detailsDetection of curved edges after cutting
Films may have curvatures and deformations after longitudinal cutting. In order to detect these deviations reliably during production, laser profile sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. Laser scanners measure the profile of the film on the edge in order to determine the length profile.
Show detailsMeasuring the thickness of wet layers
Confocal chromatic sensors from Micro-Epsilon monitor the coating thickness of wet materials. Their high resolution enables them to reliably detect any minor deviations.
Show detailsPosition control of battery cells
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.
Show detailsInspection of adhesive beading and applied sealants
scanCONTROL laser scanners inspect the presence and dimension of adhesive beading while regulating the distance control of the dispenser. Their high resolution also enables to reliably detect even the finest of beads.
Show detailsTemperature monitoring during initial charge
Thermal imaging cameras from Micro-Epsilon monitor the first charging process of batteries. These provide an insight into the temperature distribution and possible short circuits. The automatic hot-spot detection feature automatically recognizes and outputs deviations from the target temperature.
