The electrode slurry consists of expensive raw materials, which represent up to 60% of overall production costs. In order to meet high process tolerances for repeatable formulation machine builders use weighing because it is the most accurate method and it does not interfere with the slurry material. High-accuracy weighing technology is the right choice to avoid expensive waste, which could lead to millions of dollars lost per 0.1 percent overfilling within one year.
3 Strategies that Improve Quality In Battery Production
To keep up with an increasing lithium-ion batteries demand, machine builders must design highly automated production lines capable of fulfilling market demands.
Experts are forecasting the number of lithium-ion batteries in electric driven vehicles to multiply. To keep up with these quantities, machine builders must design highly automated manufacturing lines capable of fulfilling market demand. Highest quality standards in the battery production seek for the expertise in high-precision weighing. In the presentation, we want to introduce 3 strategies that improve quality in battery manufacturing:

Avoid expensive waste and accidents
Improved quality improves the company image
To finish the battery cells, a fine-filling procedure needs to be performed right after the electrode stacking. Weighing is the solution for electrolyte filling, because even if it is possible to control the electrolyte flow, only the accuracy of high-precision weighing devices can ensure 100% quality control. This quality control is critical because device recalls caused by exploding batteries have a drastic cost impact and will forever damage a brand’s image.
Perfect finish for highest quality
In order to achieve an increased power density, battery cells are packed into one module and combined manually with an electric welding machine. A major problem can occur if double-welded wires and missing parts hurt the cells, cause a fire and destroy the module. You can prevent those accidents by using a high-resolution scale for a completeness check. The before-and-after weighing process even eliminates detection issues linked to shiny surfaces and even detects hidden components. Relying on this technology will help give your high-quality batteries a perfect finish.
