The dynamic development of new electric vehicles and batteries present ongoing challenges and opportunities. Ultrasonic welding technology is a proven joining process that is increasingly specified by carmakers for use in EV for cable to terminal connections, bus bars, battery manufacturing and power electronics. Greg Ruscak, Telsonic’s Applications Manager will provide an overview of several… Read more »

Mixing with incumbent technologies like planetary mixers is unsustainable as demand outstrips current mixing productivities. The Batt-TDS is a next-generation mixing system for high-viscosity slurries that is poised to replace all Production electrode slurry mixing for EVs. Dispersion of powders can be accomplish in tens of milliseconds. An R&D batch is fully mixed within a… Read more »

Passenger safety is key to the mass adoption of EVs. Therefore, high demands are placed on the battery system today and in the future. Materials, for example for Thermal Propagation Prevention, are unavoidable. The short-term goal here is to maximise the evacuation time of the vehicle occupants in the event of a battery fire. The… Read more »

The SIN 20 was developed to support R&D and evaluate and set up sintering processes for power electronics manufacturing. The universal Softtool of PINK allows processing of different designs without investments and developments of new top sinter tools. This results in fast development cycles and highest flexibility in the sample manufacturing process. It also provides… Read more »

DC/DC converters are key elements of electrified powertrain delivering the necessary power on-demand at the right voltage. The multiplicity of types (HV/HV, HV/LV), isolated or not, mono-directional or bidirectional, and the diversity of power topology push designers to select a digital controller versatile and powerful enough to address all configurations. But a new generation of… Read more »

As the electric vehicle industry continues to boom, manufacturers are tasked with navigating a challenging innovation and supply chain landscape. Product developers are moving as quickly as possible to launch new technologies, and supply chains are quickly scaling to meet production demand that is projected to sharply grow through 2025 and beyond. Many challenges still… Read more »

There’s lots of excitement in the automobile industry today. We’re accelerating toward a new reality whereby the number of internal-combustion-engine cars on our roads will eventually be surpassed by electric vehicles. Electrification is creating a new sense of urgency for automakers and their suppliers as number of EV models produced, as well as consumer demand,… Read more »
