Sponsored by Herrmann Ultrasonics Aluminum and copper cables are commonplace between EV batteries, motors, and charging points. Ultrasonic welding can create a solid-state bond between dissimilar materials such as copper and aluminum. Cross-sectional areas of 95 mm² are common. However, demands for 120 mm² will require more powerful ultrasonic generators. Learn more about ultrasonic welding technology and the fundamentals of… Read more »
Sponsored by Dymax Newly developed adhesives for active alignment of camera modules, optical components, and LiDAR assemblies in automotive applications cure rapidly “on demand” upon exposure to UV/LED light. These adhesives can also cure under low-temperature heat (80° C) to accommodate for any shadow areas. The products demonstrate excellent depth of cure, very low shrinkage,… Read more »
