Leak Testing Systems for Batteries
Live Date: Available on demand
Duration: 40 minutes
This webinar explores various quality solutions from Marposs Group for testing different components of battery systems including battery pack, tray and cover, cooling circuit/plate, battery pack, and module assembly.
There are different methods to verify the presence of a leakage, from traditional immersion of components in a water tank, to pressure decay detection in pressurized parts, to the use of tracing gas. Examples will be shown from Marposs’ Helium Technology, from simple manual helium testing stations to automatic systems integrated with production lines; and Tecna instruments for pressure decay (absolute or differential) testing, vacuum testing, and flow testing.

Improving Battery Cell Cycle Measurement to Reduce Gigafactory Costs
Live Date: June 14, 2023
Duration: 60 minutes
Quality and process engineers know that as battery gigafactories increase cell production, careful measurement and quality control is critical. But capturing an accurate reading of a cell’s cycle life is challenging because not every cell can be measured, so sampling is required. However, cell sample size poses added costs including capital investment, operational costs, energy usage, and lead time.
Attend this webinar to learn how one cell producer overcomes these challenges with a novel measurement approach. Factors covered will include costs, floor space, safety, energy consumption, and data analysis — plus opportunities for additional efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
