Lithium-ion Battery Testing Equipment and Systems for Automotive Applications

Global lithium-ion battery-cell production is expected to increase from 280 GWh today to 2,600 GWh in 2030. This aggressive growth prediction puts added pressure on EV battery manufacturers to produce at higher volumes without sacrificing quality or safety. In addition to high production requirements, manufacturers face the challenge of performing quality testing without industry standard guidelines. The lack of EV battery leak testing standards has left many manufacturers struggling to find viable testing solutions.

Battery Covers & Trays

These can present challenges with flexing due to thermal and environmental changes. Our experience with how a material’s composition responds to variations in temperature or atmospheric conditions can help you navigate these challenges.

Cooling Modules & Assemblies

Larger cooling circuits and the number of connections on electrical vehicles can lead to increased cycle times. Our experts can determine the most effective equipment and test method combination to achieve acceptable cycle times without sacrificing quality or safety.

Battery Packs

Large volumes make obtaining repeatable results within cycle time difficult. Luckily, Our state-of-the-art technology coupled with over 50 years of experience provides the most reliable and repeatable results in the industry. 

Electric Drive Unit

Electric vehicles consist of an electric motor, power module, and transmission.  Each component has individual testing requirements. We have worked with the largest automotive manufacturers, and we have the footprint to support the most sophisticated operations.

We help EV Battery manufacturers overcome industry challenges

Billions of lithium-ion battery cells are manufactured every year for use in electric, hybrid-electric, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, and a variety of consumer electronics products. Most quality issues occur during battery-cell production, battery-module assembly, or battery-pack assembly and include:

• leaks allowing humidity or water into the cell
• leaks allowing electrolytes out of the cell
• modules and housing integrity

Historically, pressure and visual test methods have been used for soft-pouch, cylindrical and prismatic cells, however, these methods can be slow, unreliable, and may miss small lithium-ion leaks that, if left undetected, can create big quality and safety problems.

Leak and Flow Test Solutions for Appliance and Industrial Product Manufacturers

Our world relies on seamless production of manufactured goods and never has the demand been so high. While technology has streamlined many production tasks, it has applied more pressure for manufacturers to use appropriate industrial leak testing methods to ensure product integrity.

Industrial Application Leak Testing Expertise You Can Trust

For manufacturers to provide products that are leak tight, have the correct flow rate, and conform to proper operating characteristics, the correct industrial leak test must be applied. Our engineers are highly trained to recommend and administer the production-line test equipment that best suits your needs. From simple pressure decay to helium mass spectrometry; from stand-alone instruments to complex test systems, we’re able to offer you the best testing solution.

Whether it’s household appliances like coffee makers and garbage disposals or A/C and refrigeration coils and valves, Integrated Scientific AIM has experience in all forms of manufacturing: Office and retail, gas products, water devices and electrical, to name a few. We’re the first choice for production-line testing, so ask our engineers about your specific application for a personalised recommendation on which testing method would benefit your needs.

Leading Industrial Manufacturing Companies Depend on Integrated Scientific AIM Equipment and Solutions

Leading industrial manufacturers around the world depend on our leak testing equipment. We can help spot problems before large quantities are produced and we can detect small, but potentially serious, leaks that can affect production. Advanced features such as data collection, networking, statistical analysis, and synchronous testing provide a wealth of information. Plus, range and repeatability studies are performed regularly at customer sites to confirm our equipment meets or exceeds customer requirements. At Integrated Scientific AIM, it’s our goal to ensure the manufacturing supply can meet today’s demand, all without sacrificing any product integrity.
