In the production of lithium-ion battery cells, special high-precision machines are used for individual production steps. KUKA robots can take over certain key processes such as stacking, loading and unloading, or formation and aging of cells. Industrial robots that are certified for cleanroom operation and suitable for operation in dry rooms are used for this.
In addition, manufacturers face stricter rules for battery production. Since 2023, an EU Batteries Regulation has required, among other things, that new batteries include an increased proportion of recycled materials – even if these have been imported into Europe.
