Design of assembly systems for large-scale battery cells

摘要

The social and technical trends regarding electro mobility and the turnaround in energy policy cause an increasing demand on large-scale and high-quality lithium-ion cells as core components for electrical storage systems. Within the production of lithium-ion cells, cell assembly has to deal with diverse challenges which result from product complexity and a lack of production experience. This paper covers the design of assembly systems for large-scale lithium-ion cells and presents the enhancement of conventional design processes by three add-on modules. The first one is an analysis of product structure and design focus points and is described in this paper. The modules two and three are outlined.
