A Development of Imaging System for Thermal Isolation in the Electric Vehicle Battery Systems

As the intelligent technologies progress, the control systems and designing of efficient process systems has become more important. Besides that, analysis of data in the production lines play crucial role in the process. One of the essential parts of the systems in electric vehicles is battery systems and cooling of these batteries can be implemented by thermal isolators. In this study, an industrial imagining control system using profiler laser sensor for thermal mastic surface mapping was developed. For this, 3D image data were acquired and analyzed by a Laser Profiler Sensor that attached on a robot. In that case, the size of the mastic lines was measured and checked whether the sizes remained within tolerances which are defined by the car producers. Location data are sent to the robot and sealing process begins as defined. When processing is done, the operator is visually informed about the results. The operator can see mistakes on the mastic lines that can’t be seen by eyes. Thus, applications that out of tolerances can be determined.
