Manz AG: Order for battery production line from the e-mobility sector
Reutlingen, 18 April 2018 - Manz AG, a global high-tech equipment
manufacturer, has received an order for a standard production line for the
manufacture of laminated lithium-ion pouch battery cells and their battery
modules from a European customer in the segment Energy Storage. The
batteries will be used for electric forklifts, automated guided vehicle
systems and stationary energy storage. The order volume is in the lower
double-digit million-euro range. The order will have an impact on revenues
and earnings in the fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
The production line consists of a large number of standardized stand-alone
machines and modules from the Manz product portfolio which are intelligently
interconnected according to customer-specific requirements and processes.
Thus, the notching equipment which has been newly developed in the past year
is used in the area of cell production and achieves the highest degree of
material utilization with the highest operational capacity in the industry.
For the fully automated assembly of the individual pouch cells into a
battery module, Manz once again relies on the Battery Laser System BLS 500,
a platform for the production of lithium-ion batteries which was designed
for various laser applications. Since it was launched on the market, the
system has already been successfully installed several times for customers
from the power tools and automotive sectors.
With its over 30 years of experience in production technology for battery
cells and modules, Manz was able to impress with respect to the product
quality and safety of the end products manufactured on its equipment in
particular. For example, the assembly of cathode, anode and separator by
lamination ensures the highest possible cell safety. The perfectly
coordinated processes, from roll materials to fully assembled and tested
cell stacks guarantee a consistently high product quality in comparison to
the classic island solution. After every relevant process step, quality
measurement was integrated, so that any waste created during the production
can be removed directly in order to prevent the further processing of the
defective material. 100 % traceability is guaranteed for all the materials
of the cell as a result of the complete interlinking of the production line.
This allows Manz to meet all the specifications of European and North
American OEMs.
Eckhard Hörner-Marass, CEO of Manz AG, comments: "We are delighted that we
have been able to convince another new customer of our expertise. The
subject of electromobility is now increasingly gaining momentum - not only
in the large mass markets, but also in the individual niche markets.
Especially with our new developments in the area of standardized stand-alone
equipment and modules, we are able to make a significant contribution to the
further development of technology. The first European mass production line
for medium-sized and large pouch cells, which we are now equipping with our
machinery, is an important step in this context."
