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.

Battery production: 3D inline testing of binding posts

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…
