Sensor rollers with integrated web tension measurement for electrode coating in battery manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The coating of electrode foils in lithium-ion battery production requires maximum process stability and precisely controlled web tension \u2013 especially for thin aluminium or copper substrates coated with highly filled slurries. Even slight deviations in web tension can lead to drying defects, stress cracks, delamination, or uneven coating application. For continuous monitoring and control of web forces, INOMETA offers precise sensor rolls with integrated web tension measurement \u2013 developed for use under real production conditions in high-speed lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanically precise sensor rolls for highly dynamic coating processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

INOMETA’s sensor rolls are mechanically high-precision engineered roller bodies with integrated force transducers in their bearing journals \u2013 designed for applications with sensitive substrates such as coated electrode foils. Depending on process requirements, aluminium, stainless steel, or CFRP rollers are used, which are optimized for minimal sag and maximum rigidity. The measurement is carried out directly on the bearing axis via high-resolution radial force sensors \u2013 low-interference, overload-protected, and fully integrable into closed-loop control circuits. Thanks to the precise tension control, homogeneous wet film thicknesses, stable layer transitions, and deformation-free transport can be ensured, even at high web speeds.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Technical features of INOMETA sensor rollers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sensor rollers (e.g., SWA series or CLS cantilever design) are individually adapted to the application \u2013 from slurry coating to the drying zone. The following is an overview of the most important technical features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
