LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Coating benefits from more than 80 years of gauging measurement excellence. Specifically designed for electrode coating weight measurement, it incorporates a highly accurate, high-resolution beta or x-ray sensor. Sensors are integrated within an intelligent, robust measurement frame that delivers the fast scan speeds, positional precision and reliability required for 24/7 operation. Analytical capabilities include the Thermo Scientific Substrate Independent Calibration (SICAL) algorithm for direct calibration of the coating layer and precise coating weight measurement, whether measuring anode or cathode. Reporting options extend to roll, shift or production reports, 3D profile displays, SPC/QC control charts and advanced defect mapping. Together these capabilities provide manufacturers with a wealth of information enabling end-to-end measurement and responsive control throughout the electrode coating process.

• Dedicated application package for electrode coating uniformity and thickness control.
• SameSpot sensor head synchronization for superior differential coating weight measurement
• 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
• Automatic slot die control for efficient manufacture with minimal waste
• Suitable for continuous, patch or stripe coatings
• SICAL algorithm for substrate independent measurement (copper or aluminum)

The LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Coating consists of Thermo Scientific INTEGRA O-Frame Scanner and Thermo Scientific Beta Plus Basis Weight or X-Ray Master Direct Thickness Measurement 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 Coating can be supplied with Thermo Scientific Instrument Performance Management (IPM) Software through our Product Support Agreement. 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.
