Festo provides advanced automation solutions across the lithium-ion battery value chain, offering precision dosing and transport systems for raw materials, module and pack testing solutions (leak tests, thermal paste application, inline quality monitoring), and developing automated battery recycling systems to ensure manufacturing efficiency and safety in contamination-sensitive environments.
Controlled Pneumatics: a digital closed-loop control system providing enhanced energy efficiency and precise positioning for pneumatic actuation, supported by integrated software tools.
Notable projects include collaboration with Harris Hill Automation to deploy automated handling systems with pneumatic grippers and Cartesian gantries for high-volume EV battery cell feeding and inspection; development of dry-room electrode assembly systems for unrolling, cutting, aligning, and stacking electrode materials; automated cell degassing and recycling solutions; and partnership with Siemens to co-develop the Multi-Carrier System (MCS) flexible transport platform for lithium-ion battery production.
