Overview:
The demand for Li-Ion batteries is rapidly increasing across various sectors, including mobile devices, automobiles, defense, and aerospace. To meet this growing demand, SIL has developed the Lithium Ion Battery Laser Welding Machine. This innovative machine enables precise welding of prismatic cells made from materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or OFHC Copper. It is capable of welding components with a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
The Lithium Ion Battery Laser Welding Machine offers flexibility in laser selection, supporting both continuous wave (CW) and quasi-continuous wave (QCW) fiber lasers. With its superior positioning accuracy of better than 10 µm and rapid welding speed exceeding 18 m/min, this machine ensures accurate and efficient welding operations. Some notable features of this machine include video camera monitoring for enhanced visualization, power ramping and pulse shaping capabilities for precise control, a welding head with wobble motion to improve weld quality, and seam tracking with path compensation for precise and consistent welding.
The Multi-axis SIL WeldCELL stands out in its ability to weld a wide range of metal components within a controlled and enclosed environment. This robust system is particularly effective in processing reflective materials and boasts a sturdy industrial construction. It incorporates a granite table and superstructure to provide stability and precision. The system is highly programmable, offering maximum tool flexibility to accommodate various welding requirements.
Laser Source Configurations: CW Fiber Laser, QCW Fiber Laser, or High Power Green Laser, depending on the specific application requirements.
