The Battery Analysis Module in Voyager provides advanced tools specifically designed for the inspection and quality control of battery cells, including cylindrical, pouch, and prismatic types. It features automated measurements for key characteristics like Anode-Cathode Overhang (ACO) distance, debris detection, and can wall thickness analysis. This module helps manufacturers maintain stringent quality standards by offering precise, non-destructive inspection capabilities that ensure the integrity and performance of battery cells throughout their production lifecycle.
100x faster than traditional CT inspection, Lumafield’s Ultra-Fast CT technology enables comprehensive assessment of battery cells in as little as 0.1 seconds.
The last product you should tear down with a hammer, vice, or a clamp is a battery, because it’s actually a hazard to do that. That’s why CT scanners are an important technology for understanding their inner workings.

21700 lithium-ion battery
Voyager’s dimensioning features allow engineers to measure anode overhang in batteries, as seen here in the LG21700 lithium-ion battery used in the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
Lithium-polymer pouch cell
In this lithium-polymer battery, industrial CT reveals considerable layer separation as well as defects with both the tab weld and electrode layers, both of which could lead to thermal runaway.
18650 lithium-ion battery
These 2D views of a lithium-ion battery allow engineers to pinpoint the exact location of foreign material, which could decrease battery efficiency and increase the risk of short circuits.
