Innovative Adhesive-Free Lamination Technology Transforming Cell Contacting Systems

ENNOVI Revolutionizes Battery Manufacturing with Adhesive-Free Technology

In a compelling advance for the electrification of mobility, ENNOVI has unveiled a groundbreaking adhesive-free lamination technology aimed at enhancing the performance of cell contacting systems (CCS) used in various types of battery cells. Traditional methodologies often rely on heat lamination, which can present several challenges, including increased processing time and energy consumption. ENNOVI's patented procedure, however, integrates cutting-edge techniques to produce stronger and more sustainable solutions that not only meet but exceed the current standards in battery manufacturing.

This innovative process positions current collectors within the CCS between dual insulating films, utilizing a unique joining method that completely eliminates the need for adhesives. By creating a snug pocket around the current collector, this new approach enhances its stability and structural integrity while simultaneously improving insulation between components to extend battery lifespan—an essential factor considering the increasing demand for efficient battery systems in electric vehicles (EVs).

Till Wagner, Product Manager for Energy Systems at ENNOVI, emphasizes the importance of this technology in terms of efficiency and sustainability. "Cold lamination offers significant reductions in processing time and energy consumption during the assembly of CCS. By contrast, hot lamination has advantages such as robustness. Our innovative adhesive-free technology strikes a balance that eliminates compromises while enhancing manufacturing efficiency and durability. Furthermore, this new methodology does not adversely affect the insulation properties and reduces environmental impact," he stated.

Compared to traditional hot lamination, ENNOVI's adhesive-free technique cuts insulation material costs in half, uses less than 5% of the process energy required by previous methods, and accelerates processing time by an impressive 80%. These advancements provide global OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and Tier-1 suppliers with greater flexibility and efficiency in their manufacturing processes. Wagner concludes, "We believe sustainability is a collective responsibility. Therefore, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint across all our global manufacturing sites."

ENNOVI, a recognized partner in electric battery platform development, performance components, and signal connection solutions, taps into decades of expertise in electromechanical engineering and high-precision manufacturing. Collaborating closely with EV manufacturers and suppliers, ENNOVI embodies the spirit of innovation, accelerating the timeline from design and concept to the full-scale production of vital components in the burgeoning electric vehicle market.
