MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN ENERGY CELL

A system for measuring a dimension of an energy cell includes a wire cable, a tensioning system, and a measurement system. The wire cable includes a first end and a second end, and is disposable about an outer periphery of an energy cell. The tensioning system includes a first tensioner attached to a first end of the wire cable and a second tensioner attached to a second end of the wire cable. The measurement system includes a first linear displacement transducer and a second linear displacement transducer that are in communication with a controller. The first linear displacement transducer is connected to the first tensioner, and the second linear displacement transducer is connected to the second tensioner. The measurement system is operative to determine a dimensional parameter of the energy cell.
