Detection Technology Plc press release 5 May 2026 at 10:00 (EEST)
Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, has expanded its X-ray flat panel detector portfolio for battery inspection by adding high-speed IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) -based detectors, available in panel sizes 1313, 3030, and 4343, alongside its established a-Si (Amorphous Silicon) solutions. The expanded offering is designed to meet increasing requirements for imaging speed, precision, and throughput in battery manufacturing.
The company’s IGZO detectors, optimized for battery inspection, are already being delivered to leading EV battery manufacturers. The IGZO-offering is complementing Detection Technology’s proven a-Si solutions with enhanced performance for high-volume production environments.
Flat panel detectors are widely used in battery cell and battery pack inspection to generate high-resolution X-ray images that reveal internal defects such as air pockets, cracks, voids, misaligned layers, and foreign objects. These capabilities are critical for ensuring the structural integrity and performance of batteries used in automotive and energy storage applications.
Detection Technology’s X-Panel portfolio includes multiple panel sizes. The detectors are engineered for demanding production environments, offering large-area imaging, high resolution, low noise, and excellent pixel uniformity. They are compatible with inline, at-line, and offline inspection systems across a wide range of battery types, including cylindrical, pouch, button, and power winding applications.
“With our IGZO and a-Si detector technologies, we aim to provide manufacturers with application-optimized and scalable solutions for battery inspection,” says Wei Chunlin, Sales Director at Detection Technology. “Our flat panel detectors are trusted for high and reliable imaging performance, imaging speed, and competitive cost, supported by our 24/7 customer service.”
“Our solutions enable early detection of even the smallest internal defects while maintaining inspection accuracy at high production speeds. They support non-destructive inspection across key quality control applications, including overhang wrapping alignment, pole piece wrinkling, lithium plating, air bubbles, welding defects, and foreign object detection,” says Tuomas Holma, Product Director at Detection Technology.
Detection Technology will showcase its battery inspection solutions at the China International Battery Fair (CIBF), held in Shenzhen, China, on 13–15 May 2026. Featured X-Panel models include:
