UV Curing Technology Helps Transform the Manufacturing of EV Batteries
Offering reduced process times, higher throughput, lower rejection rates, and environment-friendly benefits, UV curing systems are helping to revolutionize lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
Electric vehicles (EV) and lithium-ion batteries are transforming transportation and energy storage sectors with higher efficiencies, zero emissions, reduced noise pollution, and low operating costs. Lithium-ion batteries are preferred over other battery types because they weigh less, charge faster, and pack in higher power density for longer life. These batteries are powering EV technology’s adoption in road, air, sea, and even under water transportation. Lithium-ion batteries are making EVs popular in all transportation sectors including personal, commercial, public, and defence. While lithium-ion battery costs have been a barrier to widespread commercialization, the worldwide push to popularize EV adoption, with attractive government subsidies, EV-related lithium-ion battery usage is continuing to grow rapidly. The accelerating demand is forcing manufacturers globally to make production more efficient.
Manufacturing process innovations powered by UV curing technology offer faster, more reliable, higher quality, and greener production at a fraction of the capital cost. OmniCure® UV Curing Solutions from Excelitas Technologies® are making the EV revolution more cost-attractive and quality more reliable. UV curing is helping complex lithium-ion battery manufacturing by reducing costs and time-to-market, and improving the quality and reliability of the final product.
