Industrial CT inspection of Li-ion and Solid-state Batteries in Laboratory & Production

Need for Lithium-ion Battery Inspection Solutions Demand for batteries is steadily growing and with it the demands on even faster development cycles combined with product safety and quality. Highly flexible and accurate testing and inspection of prototype batteries as well as the full scale production of batteries with industrial X-ray CT solutions is required. Battery Industry Requirements Key stakeholders in the battery industry require detailed product cell/module/pack visibility in different stages of the product life cycle:  Electrode/cell/module development – prototype analytics,...

Battery Manufacturing – Where and How CT can Add Value? Virtual Slicing in any Direction. Deviations can be identified and analyzed with respect to size and positioning Deviations in Anode Overhang Evaluate anode anomalies to optimize quality and your production processes Semitransparent prismatic cell CT volume overview with visible foreign particles Detect and evaluate delamination areas in your cell Foreign Particles Identify inclusions and their exact position within the battery For the CT scan, the battery is rotated in the X-ray beam Electrode Defects Evaluate structural electrode...
