The global demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is increasing, as Bosch Rexroth says. By 2030, it is likely to multiply. This brings opportunities...

Starting today, the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart is underway, where Bosch Rexroth also showcases its relevant expertise. The scope of the presentation ranges from smart robots for battery manufacturing to efficient recycling of retired systems (symbolic image).(Image: G.

Battery manufacturers can only meet the high demand in the future by rapidly scaling up capacities for battery production, as Bosch Rexroth notes. However, for this, production must become more powerful, cheaper and more sustainable. Bosch Rexroth therefore supports machine and plant manufacturers with what is emphasised as the broadest product portfolio and in-depth know-how throughout the entire value stream of battery production. This extends from electrode and cell production to end-of-line testing and the discharge process for subsequent recycling.

Linear robots for smart battery manufacturing

According to Bosch Rexroth, "intelligent" systems can save time right from the start of operation. Linear robots from Bosch Rexroth, which are presented at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart in hall 10, for example, are already delivered as mechatronic complete packages. They are optionally available with pre-installed operating software. This means that they can be quickly put into operation, sequenced, and connected to the higher-level line control. By combining different material transport systems, such as a cost-efficient chain conveyor with a high-precision linear motor drive, manufacturers can focus precision systems on areas where they are really needed, as the exhibitor notes. This enables high throughput and reduces the overall costs of the plant. To shorten cycle times, multiple processes can also be mapped simultaneously via linear robots.

The key to combining various systems is Bosch Rexroth's open automation system "ctrlX Automation". With a real-time capable Linux-based operating system, consistently open standards, app programming, web-based engineering, and comprehensive IoT connectivity, it reduces component and engineering costs by 30 to 50 percent.

The right equipment for battery recycling

With increasing raw material demand, as well as regulatory requirements such as the EU Battery Regulation, battery recycling and the associated return of raw materials are gaining in importance. The majority of existing LIB recycling capacities are currently in East Asia (especially China), but capacities for this are also being built up in Europe against this background, it continues. With its modular system for the diagnosis, discharge, and dismantling of used vehicle batteries, Bosch Rexroth enables the automation of these process steps upstream of recycling. The company has already delivered one of the first automated plants in Europe to the BLC - The Battery Lifecycle Company in Magdeburg.
