Linear Tech designs, builds and installs “High Throughput Test and Measurement” Equipment for quality control during battery manufacture. Best in class components ensure reliable, continuous operation with minimal maintenance.

HTTM Series

The HTTM products are fully integrated, electromechanical, inline, battery voltage and impedance testers. EIS technology (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) coupled with powerful processing capabilities, allow for a wide range of accurate, repeatable impedance tests. Data acquisition and processing time allows for automated battery production throughput of multiple batteries per minute.

The HTTM products are fully programmable to provide specific impedance results. Auto-benchmarked against a range of known values, the HTTM series determine whether the battery falls within a specified range, resulting in a pass or fail. Batteries that are not within the specified range are physically rejected at an integrated PLC controlled, electromechanical station.

The results feed into a repository, providing instant quality control data for each production run. Rejected batteries indicate a production variation in plate configuration, internal welding process or electrolyte chemical imbalances. Results are available in real time on the operator console. This allows corrective actions to be taken immediately, thereby increasing quality/ yield and reducing material wastage/warranty claims.

The HTTM series products are designed to carry out impedance tests across a range of frequencies to detect various conditions during battery formation. Each unit runs sophisticated diagnostics and analytics, with algorithms customized to suit the test requirements for each individual production line. All data is harvested & analyzed in real time for immediate reaction to production trends. This provides an accurate historical for quality control.
