About VCbattery
VCbattery is a specialized division of VisiConsult X-ray Systems & Solutions GmbH based in Stockelsdorf (Schleswig-Holstein) and a provider of non-destructive X-ray and CT inspection technology for electric vehicle batteries. The portfolio includes 2D X-ray systems, high-speed 3D CT inline and at-line systems, and Nano-CT solutions for testing battery cells (cylindrical, pouch, prismatic), modules and battery systems. Automatic defect detection covers porosity, inclusions, foreign particles, overhang, delamination and deformations; add-ons such as Digital Twin and AI complement data analysis. The VCB1/VCB1+ and VCB2/VCB2+ systems achieve cell inspection cycles from two seconds and throughputs of up to 15–30 PPM with measurement accuracy according to VDA5; for laboratories, diondo-d2C systems with automatic part handling are available. Customers are battery cell, module and system manufacturers, OEMs and laboratories. In addition to the EMEA headquarters in Stockelsdorf, VCbattery operates regional hubs in Atlanta (USA) and Pune (India).
