Getting to the Root Cause of Battery Defects

Friday, April 12, 2024

In high-speed battery production processes, an automated surface inspection system which can deliver 100% inspection is vital to detect and identify all defects. 

Battery SeparatorsWhen supported with machine-learning and classification capabilities, it can also help find the root cause of repeating defects.

Defect detection is obviously a key consideration for battery inspection, as defects lead to quality and safety issues, and reduced productivity. Many defects are one-off occurrences, but occasionally they may be caused by a flaw earlier in the process.

In the latter case, the process will continue to create defects until the root-cause problem is identified and remedied.

AMETEK Surface Vision’s surface inspection systems deliver reliable, highly sensitive defect inspection, with streaming high-definition video that allows re-inspection.

By analysing the root cause, surface inspection solutions can put a stop to repeated defects, resulting in less waste and more profit, while making it more likely that battery manufacturers will be able to meet increasing demand.
