The electric vehicle revolution is driving significant growth in the battery manufacturing industry in Europe – a new market for Europe, but not for SMC. As a leading supplier of industrial automation components, we have more than 20 years of experience in the battery industry with deep cooperation with manufacturers who currently lead the market globally.
SMC’s expertise meets the needs of European Battery Manufacturers
While Europe boasts strong automotive expertise, knowledge specific to battery production processes remains a gap. Building top-notch batteries requires a meticulous environment. Anode and cathode production, along with cell assembly, demand stringent control. During the battery manufacturing process, if certain metal particles enter a battery cell, they can cause a short circuit or a chemical reaction within the cell, which can lead to battery quality and safety issues.
That’s where SMC steps in: Our 25A product series is specifically designed for battery production. It restricts the use of copper and zinc as main materials, and uses a specially developed grease that thrives in ultra-low dew points as low as -80°C. But that’s not all. SMC offers a comprehensive range of solutions for every stage of your battery production process, including:
- Corrosion-resistant products to shield your equipment from harsh chemicals
- Explosion-proof solutions for maximum safety
- Static-reduction products to minimize the risk of discharge
- Temperature control for laser applications for precise and reliable operation.
