IPG Customer Showcase: Advanced Battery Concepts
Transform Your Current Process with Laser Technology
Multi-Axis Standard's 19.7 × 11.8 × 11.8 inch work envelope gives the team ample room for each stage of the welding process, with little setup between tasks. IPG laser welding technology can be used for fine welding tasks, such as joining the SAE terminal post to the busbar. The large work envelope also allows for the team to place the entire battery inside the system when it is time to weld the busbar to the battery's terminal brackets.
Improved Weld Quality = Better Batteries
Welding bipolar batteries requires several steps, so the versatility of the Multi-Axis Standard is invaluable when it comes to welding different battery formats. From individual components to placing the entire battery into the laser system, the majority of manufacturing can be completed with a single machine. Their system is equipped with a 4 kW YLS laser and D30 welding head, which creates a robust weld thanks to deep weld penetration. Stronger welds with clean finishes adds to the quality of the battery, while the system's versatility helps save the team time.

Utilize Laser Technology for Weld Preparation
Advanced Battery Concepts introduced a 30 W integrated laser marking system for treating foil surfaces before welding. When a shipment of foil is received, it often contains contaminants that can cause a barrier to create a chemical reaction between the positive and negative acted material and the foil surface. Advanced Battery Concepts collaborated with IPG application labs to develop this surface treatment process.
