LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Calendering builds on our long and distinguished heritage in gauging technology. Specifically designed for electrode thickness measurement during calendering, it incorporates the latest dual confocal laser technology to deliver unprecedented accuracy, repeatability, and dimensional resolution. The sensor is integrated within a rigid, robust self-calibrating scanner frame that offers high acquisition speeds, excellent thermal stability, and conformance to clean room specifications. Analytic and reporting capabilities extend to roll, shift or production reports, 3D profile displays, zoom displays and SPC/QC control charts. Together these capabilities provide manufacturers with the information needed to optimize calendering lines and consistently maintain in-spec production, to simultaneously improve yield and battery performance.

• Dedicated application package for electrode calendering (coating thickness control).
• Small measurement spot size and high sampling rate for unmatched streak resolution and coating edge defect detection
• Fast scan speeds for more complete defect detection
• Suitable for continuous, patch or stripe coatings
• Capability to handle different electrode materials, surface roughness and reflectivity/emissivity characteristics

The LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Calendering consists of a Thermo Scientific INTEGRA C-Frame Scanner with Dual Confocal Sensor.

Available displays:

• 2D HeatMap
• 3D ContourView
• Profile with edge zoom
• Stripe roll summary
• SPC control charts
• Roll report

To optimize productivity and minimize downtime, LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Calendering can be supplied with Thermo Scientific Instrument Performance Management (IPM) Software through our Product Support Agreements. IPM is a cloud-based service platform that remotely monitors the health and status of the system. It securely archives and stores measurement and diagnostic data to allow users to identify critical operational issues and can automatically notify the Technical Support Team to ensure a rapid response. By providing extensive process analytics and data retrieval capabilities, IPM software supports improved first-time fix rates and minimizes unplanned downtime.
