Battery Cell Manufacturing

Battery Cell Manufacturing

In the manufacture of battery cells, anode and cathode foils are stacked alternately, each separated by a separator foil. In this process, the need for monitoring in the calendering machine is high. Double feeding of foils, a web break or insufficient web tension quickly lead to production errors or machine downtimes. To prevent this, Pepperl+Fuchs offers suitable sensors that can be easily connected to the controller and the cloud via IO-Link.

Battery Module Manufacturing

Battery Module Manufacturing

After battery cell manufacturing is complete, the individual battery cells are assembled into battery modules. To monitor this process, Pepperl+Fuchs industrial vision products are used. Vision sensors identify the battery cells and verify their correct number and orientation, while an industrial event camera monitors the entire manufacturing process.

Battery Pack Manufacturing

Battery Pack Manufacturing

Several modules are finally bundled to form a battery pack, which can be installed in the vehicle. Various systems and solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs are used in battery pack manufacturing—for example, for the precise correction of robot trajectories or for sustainable corrosion prevention.
