Product inquiry
Experienced system consultants support you in designing the right vacuum solution for your industry-specific requirements.
The rapidly growing share of electric vehicles is leading to a very high demand for lithium-ion batteries. In order to meet the demand for long ranges, the quality and performance requirements for batteries and their production processes are also constantly increasing. Vacuum components from Schmalz meet the high demands of the industry and are used in automated cell production and module assembly. In addition to automation technology, Schmalz also offers vacuum lifters and crane systems for the ergonomic and safe handling of heavy battery modules.

Precise handling
Ergonomic and safe handling
Gentle handling of the electrodes and separators by reducing the dynamic and static forces on them by means of optimum dimensioning and distribution of the suction points. Proven lower surface pressure compared to other gripping principles such as elastomer suction cups or Bernoulli grippers
When using suction cups
When using FLGR
Suction surface made of special material PEEK (polyetherether ketone) minimizes mechanical abrasion and prevents chemical contamination. The high volume flow of gripper also removes particles from the electrode, which are then removed from the working area by exhausting the exhaust air

When using FLGR
An important component in every battery is the electrolyte, which ensures the transport of ions between the electrodes. The complex system of solvent, conductive salt and additives can attack components that come into contact with it. Schmalz offers suction cups made of materials resistant to corrosion by electrolytes. Compared with suction cups made of other materials, it can be used for a long time, to improve the productivity and output of the line.
