There are high material and manufacturing costs for a 90 kWh battery pack. There must be no mistakes or standing still. We supply the technology to produce high-quality batteries reliably and cost-consciously. This includes the automation of the processes involved in preparing the raw materials, the fully automated production of the battery cells and the automation of transport and assembly systems for the precise assembly of the battery parts.
They take place immediately after the first contact of the battery cells with electrical voltage. The battery cells are pierced with lances, the resulting gas is sucked out and then sealed again. This is usually done by thermal welding or ultrasonic welding. Our handling solutions ensure a safe and dynamic process right through to inspection and labeling.
Manufacturing batteries is complex. Quality, safety and profitability are crucial aspects. A factory with an annual capacity of 24 gigawatt hours processes about 400 tons of material per day, equivalent to the payload of more than ten articulated lorries. Day after day, around 500,000 batteries leave a gigafactory. Therefore, a lot of know-how is invested here. This is only efficient if the plants work productively and reliably, i.e. with high speed, maximum throughput and the highest repeat accuracy. This requires technical competence and reliable applications.
Valuable electrochemical components are assembled in battery module production. In the field of handling technology in particular, we offer coordinated solutions for robust, safe and precise gripping and transporting of battery cells. Particular attention is paid to safety throughout the work process.
The production of high-performance memory is difficult in several respects. Batteries are assembled from partly toxic components, in some production areas fire and explosion protection aspects have to be considered. Parts of the production take place in clean room and dry room environments. Formed and activated batteries are also under electrical voltage. In short: Process sensitivity is required in all production steps.
