ZScan® Easy

Complete 3D inline measurement in just a few seconds

With ZScan® Easy, parts such as battery cells can be scanned quickly and precisely in 3D. Automated 3D measurement and inspection take place seamlessly within seconds, directly in the production environment.

This allows the dimensional accuracy of parts to be checked directly during the production process. Within seconds, a component is scanned and compared with its CAD model in 3D, enabling reliable quality control without the need for re-inspection in the measuring room. ZScan® Easy also offers the advantage that the parts can be fed in both manually and automatically.

Ensure Quality in Battery Cell & E-Mobility Production

• 3D inline measurement of busbars
• Process monitoring when foaming battery storage systems
• Planarity & distance measurement of individual and complete cell clusters
• 3D measurement of battery cluster to housings and battery contacts
• Process monitoring during laser welding of hairpins and stators

3D Inline Measurement at the Beat

Quality assurance directly on the production line

The production of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars is a complex process that involves high material and energy costs. Economical, reliable production with minimal waste is therefore of crucial importance.

With ZScan® Easy, senswork offers a system for the inline 3D measurement of battery modules using up to eight area scanners. In just a few seconds, ZScan® Easy measures complete battery modules in three dimensions and transfers the results directly to production.

• Fast Integration - Measure 100% of the parts in the line cycle
• Brief Component Stop - Scan objects in just a few seconds
• Cost-Effective Process - Static measuring system for 3D inline measurement
• Complete 3D Scan - Up to 12 million 3D measuring points per individual scan
• Cubic Parts - Particularly suitable for (approximately) cubic test objects

100% of the parts measured

ZScan® Easy offers a variety of 3D measurement tools and evaluation methods for precise evaluation. Our VisionCommander® 3D Metrology Framework includes all common 3D metrology methods such as GD&T functions,  surface comparison or alignment methods according to procedures such as BestFit, RPS or 3-2-1.
Above all, ZScan® Easy scores points for its speed: a scan only takes a few seconds, even with large components. 

Optimize Production Processes

Utilize the potential

Production can be easily optimized using the measurement data generated by ZScan® Easy. The measurement data can  archive, evaluate, and compare product series and individual scans with each other.

This provides a deeper insight into the production processes. The influence of parameter adjustments in the process can  already be measured during production. In this way, the process steps can be specifically optimized with the 3D measuring  system based on the data collected.

Furthermore, ZScan® Easy can automatically transmit correction parameters to upstream machines during the ongoing  process, which has a positive effect on production quality. It is also possible to transmit the data to downstream machines,  which carry out further steps based on the data.

Manufacturing Battery Cells Economically and Reliably

Several 3D surface scanners capture parts such as battery cells with virtually no shadowing. The associated VisionCommander® measuring software enables the cells to be measured quickly in just a  few seconds.

This is what ZScan® Easy does in battery cell production:

• Planarity measurement of single cells and complete cell clusters
• Distance measurement of single cells and battery modules
• 3D measurement of battery clusters to housing
• 3D measurement of battery housings
• 3D measurement of battery contacts
• 3D CAD comparison
• 3D surface inspection of foamed battery storage systems
• Determination of shape and position tolerances according to GD&T
