Kollmorgen’s Direct Drive Technology Improves the Precision and Productivity of Lithium-Ion Battery Coaters

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are changing the world. With skyrocketing demand for electric vehicles and other battery-powered products, battery manufacturers are under intense pressure to increase throughput, maximize yield, and produce batteries of the highest quality, energy density and long-term reliability.

The pole-coating step is a key link in the process for manufacturing high-quality lithium-ion batteries. Learn how the process works and how a coating machine manufacturer adopted Kollmorgen direct drive technology to modify the machine’s motion control. The result is significantly improved accuracy at a micron scale, even as production speed increased by more than 33%.

Direct Drive Technology Increases the Speed and Quality of Electric Vehicle Lithium-Ion Battery Production

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.
