Electrical Testing - The PEC target
tester is designed for automating the different short electrical
tests in the test lab, such as OCV, CCV, Flash Amperage and Impedance
tests. These tests are typically performed on cells before life
testing. Target testing also helps you monitor cell behaviour
in ageing processes.
The system includes a test tray, which
can be loaded in the target test unit. The Target Tester will
automatically perform the configured tests on each tray location,
and will store the desired measurement points.
The tray-capacity is 96 cylindrical cells.
The different types are AAA, AA, C and D-size cells. The tray
bottom has an opening at each cell-position. This way the tester
is able to connect both terminals with the test probes.
The test parameters are defined in the
test regime, and are the same for all cells in the tray. The operator
starts the test by placing the tray in the target tester and closing
the safety door.
During the test, the results are shown
on the operator panel, for information purposes. When the test
is finished the results are uploaded to the central database,
where they are available for further reporting. After the test, the operator removes the
tray and returns the tray to the right location. |
