BIIT sets a new standard

Hangzhou, China

In a recent talk, Jiang Difeng, After-Sales Supervisor at BIIT, shared his insights into the transformative impact of the MesoFocus 225 on their battery inspection processes. With over two and a half years of experience in X-ray source maintenance and equipment repair, Jiang offers a firsthand account of the challenges and breakthroughs associated with battery inspections.

Addressing complex challenges in battery inspection

“Battery inspection, particularly with the intricate nature of CT scanning, presents unique challenges”. Jiang highlights a critical issue: “the low contrast in grayscale images, which makes it difficult to distinguish between actual defects and shadows caused by scattered X-rays".

“The battery is encapsulated with a thin film of electrolyte that fits closely to the electrode coating,” Jiang explained. “Accurately measuring a high-precision battery sample is challenging, especially in determining whether anomalies are genuine defects or merely trailing shadows.”

Why MesoFocus outperforms traditional open microfocus tubes

Jiang emphasizes the superiority of the MesoFocus closed X-ray tube over traditional microfocus open tubes, particularly in ease of use and maintenance. “The closed tube offers significant advantages. It simplifies operation and maintenance, making after-sales service and customer training much easier. Unlike open tubes requiring frequent filament replacements about every 500 hours, the MesoFocus tube’s durability minimizes downtime, enhancing overall operational efficiency”.

Meeting the demands of battery inspection

When asked about the MesoFocus 225’s performance, Jiang stated “so far the MesoFocus works perfectly, with no problems at all. The resolution is completely sufficient and ideal for battery inspections. The product’s dual settings of 50 microns at 50 watts and 130 microns at 130 watts provide the flexibility and power needed for precise measurements, fully meeting BIIT’s testing requirements.”
