In the production line of lithium batteries for new energy vehicles, the front-end process includes slurry stirring (such as the slurry of lithium iron phosphate batteries), coating, calendering, and die cutting. The production level of the coating and calendering processes is directly linked to the key indicator of energy density of lithium batteries, which refers to the amount of weight that can be stored and released per unit weight. Therefore, in the coating and calendering processes, manufacturers such as CATL require the ability to control the thickness of processed electrodes within an accuracy of ±1um. The production line can operate at speeds of up to 2.5m/s, requiring micrometer-level precision measurement on rapidly moving objects. Additionally, the entire production line environment may have external vibrations and temperature fluctuations, making it a highly challenging industry measurement requirement.
Chuangsight Intelligent’s TS-P series Laser Triangulation Displacement Sensor, with an expanded measurement spot, can suppress numerical fluctuations caused by the rough characteristics of the coating slurry. The high-speed measurement feature can meet the demand for real-time measurement during high-speed operation of the production line, while the top-down probe’s through-beam thickness measurement has a natural anti-interference capability against external vibrations.
