Revolutionizing Scalable EV Battery Manufacturing
1. Cell Loading & Testing
Incoming cells are singulated and tested across the conveyor. Good cells are inserted into module frames and bad cells are rejected. Assembled modules continue to the cell-to-busbar welding station.
2. Cell-to-Busbar Welding
Optimized fiber lasers rapidly weld cells to busbars on incoming modules. Unmatched laser parameter options ensure the highest welding speeds available with virtually no weld spatter.
3. Digital Weld Testing
Accurate and non-destructive bed-of-nails measurements of each cell-to-busbar weld are taken to test electrical resistance. 100% of test data is logged for traceability as tested modules move on to final assembly.
4. Module Assembly Station
Case components are assembled and robotic wobble welding ensures hermetic seals. Sealed battery packs are fully tested and removed from frames. Completed packs are stored for further processing.

Lasers & Beam Delivery Optimized for E-Mobility
Powered by industry-leading laser welding technology, IPG fiber lasers and beam delivery heads are seamlessly integrated to offer the highest welding speeds and consistent high-quality welds.
- Adjustable Mode Beam (AMB) dual-beam lasers virtually eliminate weld defects like spatter without compromising welding speed.
- On the Fly (OTF) welding technology creates precise weld seams while the process head is in motion to enable welding speeds that often exceed 10 cells per second.
- The industry's highest power single-mode lasers maximize weld speed and precision, even when welding reflective metals like copper and aluminum.
Real-Time Weld Measurement
Optional real-time weld measurement directly measures every weld as it is made to enable 100% weld quality assurance.
This patented in-process weld monitoring technology eliminates the need for time-consuming and destructive post weld testing and tracks weld dimension data to warn for process drift.
