Efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. With our standardized machines and systems for the efficient production of lithium-ion battery cells and modules, our customers can plan their production step by step, adapt it to their own needs, optimize their processes, validate them, and expand them modularly.
We have been a leading supplier of innovative and efficient production equipment for the manufacturing of lithium-ion battery cells for many years.
With our machines and systems, we cover all key process steps along the battery cell assembly value chain – for all battery cell types: Pouch, prismatic and cylindrical.
Our systems for cutting electrodes - BNM (mechanical) and BNL (laser) - can process different electrode sizes, are flexible and scalable and stand for maximum speed in production as well as 100% precision, both when notching the electrodes and when separating them.
Our Battery Winding platform BWC for battery cell winding has been specially developed for mass production and offers excellent solutions in terms of speed (up to 10% faster than the previous generation) for almost all cell designs and processes, without compromising on product quality or production throughput.
Our BSZ Z-folding machine is based on a scalable machine concept with up to 6 stacking stations. It is extremely flexible and can be adapted to individual, customer-specific production requirements. The system is characterized by high accuracy and stacking speed as well as precision and reliability.
Our flexible and modular BSL lamination and stacking platform has been specially developed to laminate and stack mono, half and bi-cells. It can easily handle different cell shapes and formats, giving our customers the flexibility to meet their production requirements. We have validated our systems in a gigawatt production environment to ensure that they can meet the most demanding requirements.
By using state-of-the-art laser technology, cell connectors (tabs) can be connected to the cell lid precisely and without mechanical stress, resulting in improved quality and performance of the battery cell. Our Battery Laser Tab Welding system BLT reduces process steps and enables a significantly faster production speed compared to the conventional ultrasonic welding method, resulting in a significant reduction in overall costs.
From initial process development to large-scale mass production, we offer scalable filling technology that adapts flexibly to the increasing requirements of your business. Our Battery Filling Machine BFH can be easily adapted to different production capacities and grows with your requirements. Manz's unique filling unit guarantees precise, reliable and efficient filling of the battery cell with electrolyte, resulting in improved product quality and cost efficiency.
Here at Manz, we have been developing innovative and efficient laser processes plus the associated machines and systems for many years. And, of course, laser machining processes are also an important component in the production of battery modules and packs. Numerous partners from the automotive and electromobility industries, battery production, electronics and the energy sector rely on our decades of experience and efficient production solutions - worldwide!
Our battery laser system (BLS) is a successful product made by Manz across the board. The machine we developed contains comprehensive laser process and technology know-how and has been an integral part of many of our customers' production processes for years, all of whom place great value on a flexible, efficient and high-quality laser process. Intelligent clamping systems such as our finger clamping system, the integrated laser welding monitoring system (optional tool) and the machine configuration that can be adapted to customer-specific requirements are further advantages that characterize this system.
Our BLR 500 and BLR 700 robotic welding stations are ideal companions for all laser processes relating to the welding of module frames and beyond - they can also be used for cell-to-pack welding applications. Our system also offers maximum flexibility with regard to the use of different laser optics, -sources and in the positioning of the laser optics and the customer product within the system. Regardless of whether your topic is process development or mass production - our solution is always based on the same proven machine platform.
Laser Application Center: At our site in Reutlingen, manufacturing companies can use a unique test environment to test and optimize various laser welding processes and material combinations under real conditions and create initial samples of the respective products.
In addition, processes and machines for the production of lithium-ion battery cells can be inspected live and jointly developed at our innovation center - the OPENfab - in Tübingen.
