One important stage in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles is seal-welding the positive-terminal top cap to the battery shell. Laser welding is the ideal technology for this purpose, but it requires precise motion, speed and acceleration control to ensure a quality high-quality weld while maximizing production throughput. Learn how Kollmorgen applies direct drive technology to solve this difficult technical challenge and help create a better world.
