Achieve high-throughput battery production with real-time quality control
Producing high-quality batteries at high throughput requires responsive control. You need to identify problems during slurry mixing, electrode coating and drying, and calendaring as they occur, understand the root cause, and quickly take remedial action. Discover how to measure electrode coating uniformity in real-time, forensically analyze defects, ensure battery safety, and establish complete traceability.
Slurry processing
Slurry processing is crucial in battery manufacturing, ensuring uniform distribution of materials for optimal performance and longevity. Precise control of slurry properties enhances electrode quality and overall battery efficiency.
Optimize material processing and battery performance
Discover how twin-screw extrusion and rotational rheology can revolutionize your manufacturing processes. These advanced techniques can enhance material processing efficiency, improve product quality, and optimize battery performance.
Electrode processing
Electrode processing is crucial in battery manufacturing as it directly affects the performance, safety, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. Uniform and high-quality electrode coatings ensure optimal conductivity and energy efficiency. Proper processing reduces defects and impurities that can lead to battery degradation and safety risks. By prioritizing advanced techniques and strict quality control, manufacturers can produce reliable, high-performance batteries that meet the demands of modern technology.
Electrode coating uniformity in battery manufacturing
To produce high-performance, safer batteries at a competitive cost, achieving precise electrode coating uniformity is essential.
The Thermo Scientific LInspector Edge In-line Mass Profilometer measures complete edge-to-edge coating profiles in milliseconds with exceptional resolution and precision. It inspects the entire electrode, including each patch, stripe, or roll, ensuring full traceability. This provides previously unavailable levels of information and insight, enabling improved production control. As a result, manufacturers can minimize transition times and reduce scrap, while maximizing quality and yield. Integrating the LInspector Edge In-line Mass Profilometer into your manufacturing process ensures the precise electrode coating uniformity required for superior battery performance and safety.
