With a very compact multi-axis system from Bosch Rexroth, RMA was able to increase the efficiency of its Battery Welder machine series for laser welding battery modules. The centerpiece is a gantry system with highly dynamic linear drives, an integrated IMS Compact position measuring system and the Ctrlx Core control platform.

The laser welding of battery modules is a quality-critical process that requires reproducible accuracy from the linear technology involved. This is because the high-precision laser beam must be focused precisely on the cell poles and connectors in order to melt the metal quickly over the smallest area. This is the only way to ensure a reliable electrical connection and thus the required performance and safety.
