Atlas Copco Offers Dosing Solutions for Electric Vehicle Battery Assembly Challenges

Electric vehicle battery assembly, which accounts for 20% of automobiles sold globally, presents various risks such as fire, corrosion and leakage for manufacturers. Atlas Copco Industrial Technique offers industrial dispensing and mechanical joining solutions to address manufacturing challenges encountered in battery assembly. SCA mastic/sealer dispensing solutions, part of Atlas Copco's brand portfolio, provide an effective solution in overcoming these challenges.

More than 17 million electric vehicles (EVs) sold worldwide represent approximately 20% of global automobile sales. Ensuring efficiency in battery production lines, which form the heart of this technology, is becoming increasingly critical with each passing day. Considering that one quarter of electric vehicle users face various malfunctions, safe and successful operation of these vehicles becomes possible through advanced SCA dispensing solutions used in battery assembly.

These solutions, which elevate efficiency, precision and reliability to the highest levels in EV battery production, not only accelerate production lines but also form the foundation for a future sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem. Atlas Copco Industrial Technique develops innovative solutions to address manufacturing challenges in this field.

"SCA directly impacts the performance, durability and safety of electric vehicles"
Uğur Macit, Industrial Joining Solutions Division Manager at Atlas Copco Industrial Technique, made the following statement on the subject:

"As electromobility and battery production evolve rapidly, production lines are also becoming more complex and require higher precision processes. In particular, dispensing solutions used in battery assembly, the heart of electric vehicles, directly impact the performance, durability and safety of electric vehicles.

As Atlas Copco Industrial Technique, with our SCA dispensing systems we provide high-precision solutions tailored to assembly challenges that vary depending on battery cell type and design. These solutions not only increase assembly efficiency but also contribute to manufacturers achieving their sustainable and safe mobility goals."

Atlas Copco eliminates risks such as fire, corrosion and leakage with SCA solutions
Battery cells generate heat during charging and discharging. Therefore, controlling thermal energy and distributing it safely is of critical importance. Atlas Copco Industrial Technique develops technologies to apply chemicals used to prevent excessive heating in battery cells with high precision each time. Additionally, it designs special applicators capable of applying two-component sealer/mastic material that will extend the time flames take to escape the battery in unexpected situations such as battery cell ignition.

These systems enable fast, accurate and homogeneous application with clean starts and finishes on large surfaces. At the same time, they prevent excessive overspray issues, reducing health risks, material waste and masking requirements. Harmful gas vapors and moisture ingress negatively affect battery safety and performance, and to prevent these issues, battery cap leakage problems can be prevented through applied gasket sealing and Atlas Copco in-line 3D visual inspection solution.

Before purchasing a dispensing solution, Atlas Copco Industrial Technique provides manufacturers with comprehensive testing and partnership services, thereby increasing the efficiency of production processes. This contributes to a significant increase in profitability. By eliminating complex manufacturing problems, Atlas Copco positions itself as an innovation partner to manufacturers and prevents potential risks in battery assembly processes through sustainable and innovative solutions.
