The electric vehicle revolution is driving significant growth in Europe’s battery manufacturing industry – a new market for Europe but dominated by Asia. As a leading supplier of industrial automation components, Asia-based SMC is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.
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. Certain metals can wreak havoc, causing short circuits by clinging to the separator.
That’s where SMC steps in: Our 25A product series is specifically designed for battery production. It’s copper-free, zinc-free, and uses a special non-drying grease that thrives in ultra-low dew points as low as -50°C (and even lower!). 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.
The production of batteries brings customers big challenges, as ensuring high safety levels is a must, always being aware of the environmental issues. Furthermore, having the agility and speed the market is demanding is the way to ensure an optimum time-to market in such an exponentially growing industry.
