100 percent quality control for battery modules

senswork, an expert in machine vision systems, presents ZScan Easy, a system for seamless 3D inline measurement of battery modules. The solution enables comprehensive quality assurance for prismatic and cylindrical battery cell modules in production.

The production of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars is a complex process that involves high material and energy costs. Economical and reliable production with minimal waste is therefore of crucial importance.

Three types of battery are used in electromobility: Pouch cells, prismatic cells and cylindrical cells. They differ mainly in their design and use of materials. senswork focuses on the quality control of prismatic and cylindrical battery modules, which pose particular challenges in production due to their design.

Various cell types

Prismatic cells are currently the most common format for electric cars. They offer an almost perfect combination of energy density, safety and long service life. However, the production of the cell housing is more complex than with other cell types.

Cylindrical cells are a proven technology in battery production. Due to their design, they are limited in their maximum charging capacity. Therefore, many cells are required for high performance.

All cell types must meet functional and safety requirements. These can often only be checked by measuring the modules in three dimensions in order to avoid risks such as short circuits or overheating.

Measuring battery modules inline

senswork presents ZScan Easy, a new system for the inline 3D measurement of battery modules that measures complete battery modules in three dimensions in just a few seconds and transmits the results directly to production.

Based on the senswork VisionCommander® 3D Metrology Framework, ZScan Easy uses typical measurement functions from the GD&T world. Both the fast processing of 3D data and the calibration of the individual scanners in a uniform coordinate space are unique.

ZScan Easy impresses with its speed, precision and automation capability, ensuring efficient quality control throughout the entire production process. Companies can therefore save time and money and raise the quality of their battery modules to a new level.
