Pilot BTV for EV Battery Test
The Pilot BTV is Seica’s latest flying prober designed for the demanding battery market, including EVs, aviation, and energy storage. It offers advanced test technology, such as 3-axis probing, weld bond and State of Charge (SoC) measurements, and the ability to charge or discharge cells to meet specifications.
The system tests 600+ battery cells using 4 flying probe arms on 2 axes and a vertical probing plate on the 3rd axis, testing up to 16 cells in parallel. This ensures high production capacity to meet growing EV market demands.
Unlike other testers that probe from 1-2 sides, the Pilot BTV’s 3-axis capability is unique. It can handle batteries up to 300kg with automatic loading/unloading. The system performs both weld and functional testing simultaneously, correcting out-of-tolerance cells by charging or discharging them directly during production. This reduces reinspection steps, extra equipment, and floor space, saving costs.
The Pilot BTV’s parallel testing of 16+ cells enhances production efficiency, making it a game-changer for the fast-expanding EV market.
In 2024, these innovations earned Seica S.p.A. the prestigious Mexico Technology Award in the category of Flying Probe Test for Electric Vehicles (EVs).
