PEM-I520
INSPECTION SYSTEM

Inspection system and testing line for highly sensitive material webs and membrane technologies such as anodes, cathodes, CCM, or MEA.

For the development of quality standards and validation of test equipment at the highest level.

Testing

Our fully automated testing line sets new standards for precise material testing and surface inspection. The low-friction components enable “linerless” examination of sensitive materials and provide an optimal basis for various testing methods.

Validating

The high-precision web run enables the validation of measuring and testing processes outside of production. Test parameters can thus be determined and optimized upstream of production. The overall development process is thus significantly accelerated.

With our market-proven solutions, you are gaining a competitive edge.

Features

Low-friction

Minimum inertia for lowest web tension: The system is characterized by minimal breakaway torques, low friction and acceleration ramps that are gentle on the material.

Inspection

The standard system is equipped with a line scan camera. The design is tailored exactly to the customer's needs.

Marking system

A laser marker or inkjet printer? You can choose the optimal system for the sensitive material handling.

Climate chamber

Since environmental influences such as humidity have a major impact on the materials, the system can also be built into a protective climate chamber.

Individual machine design thanks to placeholders

Placeholders let you integrate further optional inspection and testing methods, such as X-RAY sensor technology and ultrasonic layer thickness measurement. The specific design of the system to the materials to be processed, individual functions on the HMI and interfaces to various customer systems (e.g. MES).

Web tension control

All controllers and components are designed for lowest web tension. The parallelism of the rolls is optically measured.

Precise winding is ensured even with the lowest web tension via web center control of the unwinding and rewinding components. Sensitively programmed acceleration ramps round off the system.

Web control

Web speed and running meters can be checked and compared via the leading axis, or contact-free via a laser sensor.

Markings can be recorded and further processed by the vision sensor after unwinding. The vision sensor at the end of the machine also reliably validates the added markings.

Your Advantages

Market-proven

With our expertise as experts in handling highly sensitive materials, we are able to scale our market-proven technology to your requirements.

Mastering product quality

The offline test option allows test equipment to be parameterized in advance. The defect classification can be continuously developed. All this without interfering with production processes.

Highest precision, exact results

Is the basis for accurate measurement results. And an ideal platform for testing different materials and test methods.

Gentle on materials

By avoiding voltage peaks in the entire rewinding process.

Cost-cutting and eco-friendly

As sensitive materials can also be tested without a liner. No need to free time windows for trials and tests on production lines are necessary.

Customized and flexible

Modular machine solution with placeholders for individual extensions and upgrades.
