In this webinar, we’ll discuss laser welding process strategies for battery and power electronics applications. From busbars, tabs to terminals and power-module interconnects, the session will explore a range of topics covering weld geometry, metallurgy, penetration control, fixture and clamping considerations, inline monitoring, and process validation using real application examples and cross-sectional analysis. The webinar… Read more »
Sponsored by Avery Dennison Performance Tapes. Tapes can simplify complex processes, support robotic assembly, reduce scrap, and more. By Max VanRaaphorst Globally, more than 60 million EVs are now on the road. It’s a number that might have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago. It underscores how EV OEMs have moved beyond needing only… Read more »
Sponsored by Henkel. As the EV battery production scales, manufacturers face increasing pressure to design battery systems that are easier to service, repair and recover at the end of life. Debonding-on-demand technologies address this challenge by enabling strong, durable bonds that can be safely released using controlled triggers. This approach allows precise disassembly of battery… Read more »
This transformation is occurring globally, and axial flux technology is the answer. Across on-highway, off-highway, marine, and industrial equipment sectors, the path to decarbonization is rarely linear. Real-world duty cycles, infrastructure limitations, cost pressures, and regulatory diversity mean that a single powertrain solution cannot meet every operational need. Hybrid systems have emerged not as an… Read more »
Sponsored by Avery Dennison Performance Tapes. Intended for engineers and decision-makers in the EV battery design, manufacturing and implementation, the new “EV battery electrical insulation design guide” from Avery Dennison Performance Tapes, helps readers understand and make informed choices about using dielectric tapes as an electrical insulation solution. Featuring the Volt Tough™ portfolio of electrically… Read more »
Sponsored by Churod Electronics. Increased battery density is the endgame of all cutting-edge battery design, improvements cannot come at the expense of safety or cost limitations. The question then becomes how to push the envelope in a safe and cost-effective way. Monitoring the state-of-health of cells is at the top of the list of considerations. Accurately… Read more »
Sponsored by TTI and Murata. Wi-Fi 7 positions itself as a key technology for advanced automotive connectivity, supporting up to 16 spatial streams and a 320MHz channel width. Its high bandwidth capacity addresses the data transmission requirements of ADAS and autonomous driving applications. This paper, titled “Murata Wi-Fi 7 Automotive Connectivity and Efficiency White,” outlines… Read more »
Sponsored by ITECH. As EV platforms push from 400 V to 800 V and beyond 1000 V, engineers are facing a growing gap between charging capability and what can be safely tested in real-world conditions. This whitepaper unpacks the concept of “validation anxiety” and the risks tied to reliability, lifecycle performance, and grid interaction. It… Read more »
Sponsored by TTI & TE Connectivity. Automotive consumers demand more personalization, autonomy and connectivity from their driving experience. To make this a reality, connectivity plays a pivotal role in vehicle innovation design requirements. The next generation of vehicles needs more cameras to support advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) functionalities. The cameras need to be… Read more »
Sponsored by Parker. A key to the advancement of high energy-density, lithium-ion, battery packs is effective management of heat generated during charge and discharge cycles. Heat is often managed by connecting battery cells and/or modules to a cooling plate or pack via thermally conductive materials (gap fillers or adhesives). Typically, they are two-component polymeric resins… Read more »
