At The Battery Show Europe (June 9-11, Stuttgart), Schmalz will showcase vacuum solutions for stable and clean processes in Hall 1 at Stand M11. The focus is on components that handle delicate workpieces safely, respond flexibly to changing geometries, and operate reproducibly.

With the spring impact…

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries – the next generation of batteries that can store more energy, are safer to operate, and charge faster than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Al…

TRUMPF has developed laser applications for adhesive and coating preparation in battery production and for corrosion protection of aluminum components. The high-tech company is thus making electric car batteries safer and protecting cars from rust. “Selective surface processing with lasers is a cl…

Already two years ago, igus presented the E6.29, the first certified energy chain for the dry cleanroom. To provide its customers with long-term security, the motion plastics specialist commissioned the Fraunhofer IPA to conduct a test to investigate the aging behavior of its e-chains in the dry cle…

Battery production is at the heart of industrial and climate policy worldwide. Indeed, the demand for energy storage systems for electromobility and stationary applications is growing globally as is the importance of efficient, sustainable and regionally independent battery production.
