Providing inspection, recognition, and positioning applications for battery assembly process
Focus on reducing cost burden and improving process efficiency for smart processes

As electric vehicles overtook diesel vehicles in domestic sales and fire accidents caused by defective batteries continued to occur, SensoPart is providing support for the safe production and distribution of electric vehicles with solutions suitable for the battery manufacturing process.

Sensopart Korea announced on the 14th that its vision sensors can provide inspection, recognition, and positioning applications in the battery assembly process, thereby improving process accuracy and efficiency.

According to the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association, domestic electric vehicle sales in 2022 are expected to continue to grow, reaching 164,324 units, up 63.7% from 2021.

In particular, domestic sales of electric vehicles, including hybrids, surpassed diesel vehicle sales last year, marking the beginning of a full-fledged era of electric vehicles.

On the other hand, many consumers say it is too early to buy an electric vehicle as there are occasional deaths caused by electric vehicle fires.

The cause of electric vehicle fires is directly related to the battery, such as thermal runaway, a phenomenon in which the internal temperature of the battery rapidly rises.

The fire that occurred in Seogwipo, Jeju Island in December last year also started in a vehicle that was being recalled due to a defective battery.

Due to the growth of China, including the US IRA and CATL and BYD, there are many concerns. For Korean companies that have a lot to write about, if an accident like the above occurs, it can not only directly damage their brand image, but also lead to a loss of consumer trust.

Since batteries are considered the cause of most electric vehicle fires, safety must be considered throughout the entire battery process.

The importance of quality control has become even more acute because even the smallest holes or quality errors cannot be tolerated and can be a serious problem that affects consumer safety.

Sensopart's vision sensors provide inspection, recognition, and positioning applications in the battery assembly process, thereby improving process accuracy and efficiency.

It can be easily integrated into existing processes, is easy to use, and can be operated without any skill level of the operator.

△ It provides various applications for tasks required in a series of battery processes, such as code reader for reading acceptance code, height measurement of loaded housing parts, positioning for battery module picking, battery module housing assembly, and position detection for screw fastening.

It also focuses its technology on battery stability with applications such as △position measurement of sniffer lance for leak detection and △connector latch inspection to prevent subsequent defects.

Sensopart's strength is that it provides vision sensors with German technology at a reasonable price.

The focus is on reducing the cost burden for smart processes and improving process efficiency.

Meanwhile, Sensopart Korea launched a Korean branch in July and is expanding its sales and marketing in the Korean market. It also announced that it plans to enter the domestic automobile and battery manufacturing industry based on overseas cases.

Sensopart, headquartered in Germany, is a company that produces automotive, electronics, semiconductors, cosmetics, We provide sensors and machine vision products, which are the core of automation solutions, to various industries including packaging, food, and pharmaceuticals.

Sensopart's solutions are actively applied to leading German premium automobiles and American premium automobiles.
