Welding is a vitally important family of joining techniques for EV battery systems. A large battery might need thousands of individual connections, joining the positive and negative terminals of cells together in combinations of parallel and series blocks to form modules and packs of the required voltage and capacity.
The compared techniques are resistance spot welding, laser beam welding and ultrasonic welding. The performance was evaluated in terms of numerous factors such as production cost, degree of automation and weld quality. All three methods are tried and proven to function in the production of battery applications.
“In these situations, cooperative development and reliable relationships are of high value.” While there many kinds of welding, in EV battery applications the most common are resistance welding and laser welding, along with ultrasonic welding and wire bonding, and benefit from standardisation for mass production.
Whether to power our latest portable electronic device, power tool, or hybrid/electric vehicle, the removable battery pack is essential to our everyday lives. Tab-to-terminal connection is one of the key battery pack welding applications.
Of these, laser and ultrasonic welding processes dominate in EV battery manufacture – with laser welding the preferred solution for mass production – and continue to be improved and refined. “We see a lot of laser welding and ultrasonic wedge bonding for the larger packs,” says Boyle at Amada Weld Tech.
Thus the welding method has a minimal impact on the battery as there are no catalyzing reactions in the battery caused by the heat. On the other hand deformation may occur if too great of a welding force is applied by the electrodes. This deformation may alter the temperature distribution and hinder the current from flowing the shortest path.
Functions are: the welding head can rotate by 180°, the welding is consistent, the welding needle is not sticky, the welding needle wear is automatically compensated, the poor welding alarm, real-time monitoring, recording, welding current automatic feedback compensation, motion controller, display and non-array battery pack, simple peration and fast programming,
