Recently, Senswork introduced ZScan Easy to the market; An innovative system is designed to perform 3D measurement on online batteries quickly and accurately, ensuring quality control for cylindrical and prismatic battery cell modules in production. This technology ensures that every functional and safety aspect of the modules is comprehensively met.
ZScan Easy: the Senswork tool
The ZScan Easy system is made up of four Photoneo area scanners to perform complete three-dimensional measurements of battery modules in seconds , integrating the results directly into the production line. In addition, it uses Senswork ‘s VisionCommander 3D metrology framework to highlight its speed, precision and automation capacity, allowing companies to save resources and improve the quality of their products.
The manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries , especially for electric vehicles, involves high material and energy costs, making production that is both economical and efficient and that minimizes waste essential. Robust and thorough quality control is crucial.

Battery types and their capacities
There are three main types of batteries: bag, prismatic and cylindrical . Senswork has focused its efforts on quality assurance for prismatic and cylindrical battery modules, which present particular challenges due to their specific configuration.
The prismatic cell dominates the electric vehicle market, due to its high energy density and safety, as well as superior durability. However, its casing is more complicated to manufacture. On the other hand, the cylindrical cell has limitations in terms of load capacity, requiring numerous cells to achieve high performance.
It is important that all cell types meet functionality and safety standards, something that can often only be verified by three-dimensional measurements , to prevent risks such as short circuits or overheating.
