Gauging system INTEGRA C-Frame

Calendering involves compression of the applied electrode coating to precisely control mechanical properties and adhesion to the substrate. Thermo Scientific LInspector Measurement and Control System for Electrode Calendering addresses the need for continuous, in-line electrode thickness measurement. Combining exceptional sensor accuracy with extensive reporting capabilities, it allows manufacturers to responsively control the characteristics of finished electrodes. The result is consistent dimensional accuracy and performance, with minimal downstream processing disruption. 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
