VCB2, developed by VisiConsult and Glimpse, is the world’s highest throughput computed tomography (CT) scanner, available for customers across the battery cylindrical cell industry.
This unique system was specifically designed for the cylindrical battery cell market and is capable of producing full-cell 20µm-resolution scans in seconds. The VCB2 is designed to be the first commercially available full-cell CT scanner that uses Excillum’s MetalJet – the world’s brightest x-ray source. When combined with Glimpse’s scan image processing technology, the VCB2 system supports all cylindrical form factors and can generate a high-resolution scan of a full battery every few seconds.
“We are excited to provide the global cylindrical cell market with the first ever inline 3D metrology tool. Given the challenge of operating a gigafactory profitably, this technology will be instrumental in maximizing production yields,” said Bernhard Mürkens, head of VCbattery, a division of VisiConsult.
Eric Moch, CEO and co-founder of Glimpse, said, “By having Glimpse’s QMS product integrated with the VCB2 system, battery producers will gain unprecedented insights into the quality of their cells at an unprecedented scale.”
