Electrode production
Regardless of the type of cell or battery produced, Bosch Rexroth understands the entire production process: Whether it be dosing, mixing, coating, drying or compacting. Rexroth automation solutions offer significant advantages for the entire production process and help you to increase your productivity and save resources.
- ctrlX CORE: Scalable industrial control platform with operating system ctrlX OS
- ctrlX DRIVE: Drives and motors with minimal space requirements and lower wiring costs
- ctrlX DRIVE cabinet-free: Modular and flexible drive system without a control cabinet
- Electromechanical cylinder EMC: Energy-efficient actuator for a wide range of applications, ready to install
Cell manufacturing
Bosch Rexroth relies on fully solution-oriented battery cell manufacturing. Cylindrical, prismatic, as a pouch or solid state – the cells are a critical factor when it comes to the design, performance and quality of your batteries. Bosch Rexroth’s solutions portfolio and expertise help you optimize the costs, quality and throughput of your cell production.
- Flexible Transport System (FTS): For transporting and positioning materials and work pieces
- Smart Function Kit Pressing: Modular servo press, with preinstalled operating software for quick commissioning and intuitive programming
- VarioFlow plus Chain Conveyor System: For high automation densities and tight spaces
- Transfer system TS 2plus (booster): For short cycle transfer. Reduces cycle times and positions battery cells with great precision.
- ctrlX CORE: open PLC control system connects IT and OT with the ctrlX PLC and ctrlX IOT Apps
Module assembly
Bosch Rexroth thinks in complete solutions – also for modules. Battery packs require high-precision positioning of the cells and time-saving module assembly with accurate movements and fast materials transport. In addition to the reliable transportation of heavy pack modules, professional tightening methods are also required here.
- Multi-axis systems: Pre-assembled, ready-to-install subsystems from a single source – for precise positioning
- TS 5 Transfer System: Transports battery modules and packs weighing up to 400 kg
- ctrlX CORE: Control platform with app technology
- ctrlX DRIVE cabinet-free: Modular and flexible drive system without a control cabinet
Pack assembly
It’s all about the flow: for example, heavy pack modules require reliable, safe, but efficient transportation. The Bosch Rexroth solution portfolio provides all the components for advanced battery pack assembly.
- Height-adjustable manual production systems help you set up ergonomic workstations or Picking & Packing lines for healthier working conditions and greater productivity.
- NEXO: A cordless nutrunner with maximum freedom and first-in-class process reliability and accuracy
- Kassow Robots: 7-axis cobots: Fast, precise, can handle high loads – best application features
End-of-line testing
When it comes to end-of-line battery testing systems for mass-produced vehicles, maximum efficiency, quality and safety are needed. This is why Bosch Rexroth’s end-of-line testing systems combine modern testing software with the latest generation of high-performance industrial converters.
- Transfer system TS 7plus: Segmented, zero pressure accumulation conveyor, intelligently accelerates and decelerates workpiece carriers
- IndraDrive ML, ctrlX CORE: drive and controls are the perfect combination for end-of-line battery tests
