Lithium batteries, with their high energy densities, have demonstrated their usefulness in many applications in today’s mobile society, and pose a significant fire risk at home, on the road, in the air, and in industrial settings. During the manufacturing process, hidden defects are introduced into batteries that later become shorts leading to fires. X-Scan Imaging Corporation offers patented CCD TDI technology with excellent sensitivity and resolution while achieving high speed inspection to screen out batteries for these defects. It also offers a wide range of detector solutions for detecting batteries in waste streams and material recovery facilities.
