Sioux Microinspector®

Metal contamination detection in battery materials

BRING INLINE INSPECTION TO LIFE IN BATTERY PRODUCTION QUALITY CONTROL

  • DETECT CRITICAL METALLIC IMPURITIES
    Sioux MicroInspector® detects and identifies metallic contaminants in cathode active materials used in battery manufacturing. Rapid particle identification and material differentiation support quality control, with a modular design for offline, near-line, and inline inspection.

  • IDENTIFY COMPOSITION, NOT JUST PRESENCE
    By combining advanced optics, computational imaging, software, and AI in one inspection platform, MicroInspector provides fast insight into both particle presence and material composition.

  • SCALE FROM LAB TO PRODUCTION
    Its modular architecture supports lab, near-line, and inline deployment, making it suitable from R&D and process development through to high-volume battery production.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Microinspector Optical Imaging

METALLIC PARTICLE DETECTION & IDENTIFICATION

High-volume production requires rapid detection and identification of metallic contaminants to safeguard cell quality and performance without compromising throughput.
X Ray

The Analytical Problem

Current techniques (optical/X-ray) cannot identify material composition, leading to limited visibility on 'high-risk' contaminants and low process representativity.
Battery Production

Scaling Production Challenges

Low throughput restricts effective risk screening; manufacturers require 100% inline inspection to bridge the gap between material supply and final cell assembly.
