Silicone-Free Gap Filler Helps Improve Battery Pack Production

Bergquist TGF 2010 APS is a two-part, silicone-free liquid gap filler. It helps extend the life of automotive batteries through high-performance heat dissipation, while also helping manufacturers produce battery packs faster. A silicone-free formulation reduces the risk of silicon outgassing, preventing negative impacts to electrical contacts or to surfaces that need to be painted.

Conveyor Provides High-Speed Material Handling

The Flexible Transport System (FTS) is a linear motor pallet system that provides high transfer speeds and precise pallet positioning. Where traditional rollers, chains or belt systems reach their limits, the FTS delivers higher accuracy and allows for freely programmable individual and synchronized movements at faster speeds. Features include pallet positioning accuracy and micron level repeatability.

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape Optimizes Battery Assembly

Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes reduce flammability, boost dielectric strength, and optimize design and assembly of battery packs. The next-generation portfolio includes a conformable dielectric tape that improves electrical insulation. A single-sided construction with improved stretching properties allows it to bond better to contoured and raised surfaces. An instant bond eliminates the need for cure or dry times.

Intelligent Transport System Is Flexible and Scalable

The XPlanar “flying motion” and XTS linear transport systems are ideal for assembly applications. Magnetically levitating movers replace many functions handled by traditional material handling systems and robots. Additional benefits include zero friction, automatic collision avoidance, path planning, anti-slosh, 360-degree rotation and zero wear on the system, improving uptime and ROI.

Digital Sheet Metal Forming Eliminates Molds and Dies

Figur G15 can shape standard sheet metal on-demand directly from a digital design file using Digital Sheet Forming technology. A software-driven ceramic tool on an XY gantry forms the sheet with up to 2,000 pounds of force in a highly engineered and proprietary build zone. It eliminates the need for traditional stamping tools, molds, dies or presses. A wide variety of metals and sheet thicknesses can be processed, including steel up to 2 millimeters thick and aluminum up to 2.5 millimeters thick.
