Title: Steffen Masuch and Battery-Stack Inspection Innovations.
Introduction
Steffen Masuch is an inventor associated with Braunschweig, Germany, and PowerCo SE. His patent work focuses on methods for inspecting battery cells and stacked battery layers, with particular attention to the alignment of electrodes and other components. His portfolio includes 3 patents.
Latest Patents
Masuch’s recent patent work includes methods for checking the position of battery elements and battery-cell layers in a stack.
“Method for Checking a Battery Element Stack with Regard to the Position of Battery Element Layers” describes inspecting a stack containing anodes, cathodes, and separators. The method determines the geometry of at least some electrode surfaces, then uses X-ray radiation directed perpendicular to the layers’ large surfaces. The resulting images are used to measure the greatest spacing between the edges of selected electrodes on opposite sides of the stack, helping assess their positioning.
“Method for Testing at Least One Battery Cell Stack with Regard to the Position of Battery Cell Layers” sets out a two-stage inspection process. First, individual battery cells are checked to determine whether their layer edges fall within an initial tolerance range. Cells that pass are stacked, and the resulting stack is examined using X-rays. The method then evaluates the positions of selected layer edges, including the greatest distance between corresponding edges, against a second tolerance range.
Career Highlights
Masuch’s disclosed inventions address quality control in battery manufacturing. By applying geometric measurements and X-ray inspection to individual cells and assembled stacks, these methods provide ways to assess layer alignment against defined tolerances. His work is associated with PowerCo SE.
Collaborations
The available information identifies PowerCo SE as the company associated with Masuch’s work. It does not specify additional collaborators or research partners.
Conclusion
Steffen Masuch’s patent work centers on X-ray-based inspection methods for evaluating the positioning of battery layers, supporting more systematic quality checks during battery-cell and stack production.
