Battery Insulation Sheet Inspection

Battery insulation sheet inspection: for holes, burrs, stains, uneven coating and dimensions of battery PET/PI/adhesive-coated insulation sheets, transmitted imaging highlights safety-critical defects, and AI judgement and measurement output OK/NG.

Application Overview

Safety inspection of holes and burrs in battery PET/PI insulating sheets

Quick answers

Inspects holes, burrs, stains, uneven coating and dimensions on battery insulating sheets (PET / PI / adhesive-coated film, etc.); transmitted / backlight imaging highlights holes and burrs, and AI judges defects and measures dimensions.

The battery insulation sheet is a safety isolation material inside the battery pack; holes, burrs and short shot create a short-circuit risk and are safety-related defects. The sheet is thin and semi-transparent, so imaging must use transmitted light to bring out the hole edges.

This station covers the appearance and dimensions of insulating sheet cut pieces / sheets, focusing on holes, burrs, stains, uneven coating / adhesive layers and contour dimensions; transmitted-light imaging is the core.

Inspection takes place after the cutting process step, imaging one sheet at a time; the specific illumination is adjusted by material (PET/PI/with adhesive), and dimensional items use telecentric measurement.

Why Inspect

Problems with manual visual inspection at this step

Battery insulating sheets are thin and semi-transparent; holes and burrs are easily missed with reflected light, and only transmitted / backlight imaging that highlights the edges can detect them reliably. These are safety-related defects.

Short shot and burrs cause short circuits or assembly defects and are defects that must not flow into the next process step, requiring inline full inspection and records.

  • Holes and burrs are safety-related defects
  • Translucent sheets are easily missed under reflected light
  • Short shots and burrs create short-circuit risk
  • Requires inline 100% inspection and records

Stations and Inspection Chain

Battery insulating sheet inspection: inspection zone layoutThe workpiece is divided into several inspection positions, each judged in turn before composing the part-level OK/NG conclusion.Workpiece (Illustrative)123456Each product is divided into 6 inspection positions according to the assembly drawing, and the conclusion for the whole part is combined from the position-by-position judgementsInspection position (ROI) judged qualifiedThis position NG → whole part judged NG
Inspection position (ROI) zoning diagram ——Battery insulation sheet inspection usually divides the inspection area position by position according to the assembly drawing; if any position is judged NG, the whole part is judged NG.

How to Inspect

For thin, semi-transparent insulating sheets, transmitted/backlight imaging makes hole and burr edges stand out; burrs rely on low-angle light and dimensions are measured with a telecentric lens, making this a combined transmitted-light + dimensional imaging method.

Common Question

Why is transmitted light emphasized in insulating sheet inspection?
Insulating sheets are thin and semi-transparent. Holes and burrs are easily missed under reflected light; transmitted / backlight illumination highlights their edges for stable detection. These are safety-related defects.
Can it replace manual labor?
Can inspect 100% in line and record results, reducing visual checking; but the material and acceptance criteria must be defined on site, and re-judgement still requires an operator.
What Inspection Accuracy Can Be Achieved?
To be supplemented. It depends on the camera and the pixel equivalent, and must be confirmed by measured testing according to material and cycle time.
How Are Burrs Inspected?
Low-angle light highlights the cut flash contour for edge judgement; dimensions are measured with a telecentric lens.
Can Uneven Adhesive Coating Be Detected?
Yes. Adhesive mottling is recognized by AI segmentation, but adhesive layer thickness must be measured with a thickness gauge, subject to on-site conditions.
Are results traceable?
Yes. Individual sheet defects and images are archived.
Does Changing the Material Require Retuning?
Yes. PET/PI/adhesive-containing materials use different illumination and recipes, which can be called up as needed.

Submit sample testing

Typical OK/NG insulation sheet samples can be sent for a measured trial: transmitted illumination and a telecentric measurement solution are determined by the material.
