Line Scan Cameras For Renewable Energies, Solar Systems, And Inspection Of Solar Cells

Accelerate Renewable Innovation Through Precise, Automated Visual Inspection

Inspect solar cells, power electronics, battery foils, fuel cell components, and connectors with industrial cameras. Detect defects early, ensure reliability, and optimize energy production systems.

Challenges & Trends

Detect Tiny Defects

Detecting micro-cracks, pinholes, wire-bond flaws or surface anomalies at scale requires visibility into sub-mm features across large areas.

Maintaining Throughput Under High-speed

Production speed demands rapid capture and high data transfer without dropping frames. Fast imaging, multi-camera sync, and real-time processing strain networks and storage.

Imaging In Harsh Production Conditions

Variable lighting, high dynamic range scenes, sensor blooming, and noisy signals reduce detection confidence. Multi-material surfaces, reflective foils, and 3D geometries making inspection across solar, cell, and e-mobility components extremely challenging.

Applications

Inspection Of Solar Cells

Detect micro-cracks, cell scratches, finger interruptions and processing residues at sub-mm scale across full panels, reducing field failures and boosting module yield.

Inspection Of Wire Bonds In Power Electronics

Prevent hidden electrical failures. Verify bond integrity, lift-offs and stitching flaws on fine wires and contacts to avoid intermittent failures in inverters, converters and power modules

Foil Inspection In Battery Cell Production

Ensure consistent cell performance. Find pinholes, inclusions, coating non-uniformities and edge defects in separator and electrode films early, preventing capacity loss, shorts and downstream scrap.

3D Surface Inspection Of Battery Housings

Secure mechanical and thermal integrity. Characterize dents, deformations, seam misalignments and surface anomalies in three dimensions.

2D and 3D Inspection Of Fuel Cell Components

Guarantee electrochemical reliability inspecting membranes, flow fields, seals and bipolar plates for surface defects, warpage and dimensional non-conformances in both 2D and 3D.

Connector Inspection In The Field Of Power Electronics And E-Mobility

Validate pin presence, plating quality, mating alignment and strain-related defects to prevent power interruptions and improve serviceability in EV charging, battery management and powertrain systems.

Technical Requirements

High optical resolution in 2D to detect even the smallest defects
High-resolution 3D data for reliable characterization of the smallest surface defects
Blooming fixed sensors, with a high dynamic range and low noise
Multi-channel flashing to capture up to four images with different parameters or illumination geometries in one pass
Powerful line lights with different configurations of geometry, light color and cooling
