Inspection of electrodes for critical defects, such as impurities, blow holes in the coating, and edge waviness, are an important aspect of ensuring battery safety and reliability.
Burr detection for batteries

Fast and accurate identification of burrs is important during battery production to ensure quality and performance, minimizing risk of failure, reducing waste, and achieving efficient and cost-effective production.
Cross-section analysis of battery components

The development and production of high-performance battery systems requires their component’s internal structures to be examined. Such an analysis requires precise and efficient preparation of sample cross sections.
Cleanliness analysis for battery production
