Innometry said Monday it will present its noninvasive X-ray inspection solutions for electric vehicle batteries at this week’s InterBattery expo in Seoul.
The company will showcase its X-ray and 3D CT technology used to analyze the internal structure of the car batteries to identify manufacturing defects and help prevent EV fires. Specifically, the equipment is designed to monitor whether the internal electrodes in batteries of various form factors ― such as prismatic, pouch and cylindrical ― are well-aligned.
Additionally, the company will display its inspection device for detecting internal contaminants within batteries and high-speed stacking equipment for assembling separators and anode and cathode plates.
For the exhibition, Innometry has prepared scaled-down mockup equipment, reduced to one-seventh of the actual size, to demonstrate how quickly and precisely it can inspect the battery’s interior cells.
“Our inspection solutions are capable of ‘inline examination’ for all existing battery types, including the 46 series cylindrical batteries and next-generation all-solid-state batteries,” stated an official from Innometry. “This has led to numerous business inquiries from global battery manufacturers in countries such as Korea, China and the US.” Inline battery examination refers to an efficient testing process for each battery cell at the end of the production stage.
Innometry CEO Lee Gap-soo noted, “Our precision optical technology and artificial intelligence-powered software platform allows us to promptly address any battery of our client’s strategic choice to tackle the slowdown (in electric vehicle demand). We will have senior decision-makers, including the heads of our US and Chinese branches, present at the exhibition to actively engage with potential clients and strive for meaningful outcomes.”
