Monitoring the laser welding (LWM) process of cells in battery module manufacturing is critical to ensure the performance/cost savings/overall quality of mass production automation lines. We will show how this is achieved at Manz on our battery laser system, the BLS500. We will also present how the LWM data monitoring/analysis and representation through our smartPRODUCTIONKIT (sPK) provides the end customer with insights on how to keep the welding process in control.

Current battery projects are facing many challenges with cost and schedule overruns, as well as quality/ramp up issues, and it is likely that much of these challenges may stem from the EPC approach, which is most popularly utilized at the moment. The challenges faced using the EPC model are unpacked and compared to alternative execution/project delivery models such as EPCM and CMAR. 

Battery pack assembly is a complex task requiring use of technologies such as precision automation, adhesive dispensing, clean-room and more, comprising of more than 50 stations handling more than 5 million data points every hour. Through our experience across multiple projects, we are sharing some of the technical challenges we faced, and how we can solve them.

Electron microscopes and ion beam systems are essential tools in today’s materials science fields. The FIB-SEM harnesses the power of both electrons and ions by combining a focused ion beam (FIB) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in a single instrument. This harmony of capabilities has many uses in materials characterization, however, ion-beam-induced heating can create difficulties in addressing sensitive compounds. Therefore, the use of cryogenic conditions (CryoFIB) can be applied. In this presentation, we will discuss CryoFIB techniques, advantages, and workflows.
