Driven by the global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals, new energy lithium batteries have emerged as the core power source for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and smart devices. In response to the market's urgent demand for efficient, safe, and high-precision battery production, Shanghai Lanbao Sensing Technology Co., Ltd., leveraging its 27 years of expertise in industrial automation, delivers comprehensive intelligent solutions for lithium battery manufacturing, propelling the industry toward an "Intelligent Manufacturing Future."
The production process of lithium batteries is complex, covering three major stages: the front-end (electrode preparation), the middle-end (cell synthesis), and the back-end (formation and grading). Each stage has extremely high requirements for precision, efficiency, and consistency. The traditional production model faces the following challenges:
Difficult material deviation correction: Deviations are prone to occur during electrode coating and slitting, affecting the performance of battery cells.
Low detection accuracy: Manual detection of welding defects, liquid level control, etc., is inefficient and prone to missed inspections.
High safety risks: Real-time monitoring is required for equipment operation in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Lanbao Solutions:
Through photoelectric sensors, inductive sensors, capacitive sensors, laser ranging displacement sensors, 3D vision systems, and industrial IoT technologies, we achieve:
Material deviation correction: ±0.2mm high-precision measurement ensures electrode sheet alignment.
Welding inspection: 1μm-level defect recognition with a missed detection rate of <1%.
Liquid level monitoring: Non-contact ultrasonic sensing prevents electrolyte overflow.
1.Front-End Process: Electrode Preparation
Coater Deviation Correction: The 3D line scanning laser sensor series adjusts coating thickness in real time, enabling micron-level precise detection.
Mixer Material Level Detection: Ultrasonic sensors/Teflon capacitive sensors monitor the liquid level of slurry in real time to prevent overflow.
Slitter Control: Through-beam photoelectric sensors detect the slitting accuracy of electrode sheets to reduce material waste.
