Digital Probes & The Orbit® Network Application Story Gauging electric car battery cells The Challenge Measurement of battery cells is a critical step during the assembly of battery packs for Electric Cars. “Prismatic” and “Pouch” cells have several critical dimensions, such as thickness and width, that must be checked quickly so they can swiftly be assembled into battery packs, without any issues of form and fit. DP/10/P 10mm Digital Pneumatic Probe The Solution Solartron Metrology offers high precision Digital probes that can be used to quickly gauge battery cells.  High Resolution: Solartron Digital probes offer resolution up to 0.01 micron, which is excellent for checking flatness and height.  Quick and Easy Installation: Solartron Digital probes come pre-calibrated, so customers can just rig them to gauges, master, and then measure. Compared to non-contact, there is no special setup or maintenance.  Fast readings: With Solartron Digital pneumatic sensors, probes can be quickly extended and retracted, with instant feedback.  Rugged Build: Solartron probes have been tested to millions of cycles, and are built in a stainless steel casing to withstand years of abuse, including vibration and heat.  Product Variety and Customization: Solartron offers hundreds of different probe configurations for any application. Probes can also be fitted with special cable lengths, tips, and other specialized components.  Easily Network multiple sensors: With Solartron’s Orbit® network, up to 200 sensors can be connected together and then output to a PC or PLC.  Multiple Output Options: With Orbit®, all readings can be output to a PC with Solartron provided software, or the customer’s software pack as well. There are also gateways for Profinet®, Ethernet/IP®, EtherCAT®, and Modbus based PLCs. Gauging a pouch cell: Solartron probes can be quickly used to check critical cell dimensions, with high resolution, repeatability, and throughput. Custom flat tips can be added. Feather Touch probes are available if low tip forces are required. . Orbit Stack Custom tips Optional Ultra Feather Touch Probe Solartron probes can also be used to check the flatness of a battery pack a
