1. A system for an energy cell, the system comprising:
a wire cable, wherein the wire cable includes a first end and a second end, and wherein the wire cable is disposable about an outer periphery of an energy cell;
a tensioning system, including 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; and
a measurement system, including a first linear displacement transducer and a second linear displacement transducer in communication with a controller;
wherein the wire cable is looped around the energy cell;
wherein the first linear displacement transducer is connected to the first tensioner, and wherein the second linear displacement transducer is connected to the second tensioner; and
wherein the measurement system is operative to determine a dimensional parameter of the energy cell.
