System Tests Prismatic Battery Cells
A prismatic battery cell testing system checks dimensional characteristics, safety conditions and electrical functional parameters. The machine can be easily reconfigured to adapt to different cell sizes and is suitable for end-of-line control or verification and grading at the beginning of a module assembly line. It can handle up to 18 nesting stations.

Cable Lacing Fastener Provides Labor Savings
LaceLok is a labor- and time-saving alternative to hand-tied lace and plastic cable ties used in wire harness assembly applications. It combines the ease of cable ties with the abrasion and chemical resistance of lacing tape. The material eliminates ergonomic, safety and consistency risks. It is offered in a variety of lengths from 6 to 24 inches long and can be wrapped up to three times around wire bundles to provide tensile strengths of 55 to 165 pounds.

Optimal Component Handling for Battery Cell Production
In the growing and dynamic EV market, thousands of components and subcomponents must be processed. Many of these are in battery cell production, where cells are often packed tightly together, making it difficult to grip and handle via robotic automation. New magnetic gripping technology offers a reliable approach to solve these difficult situations.

Ultrasonic Welder Can Process Thin-Wall Materials
Telsonic Soniqtwist ultrasonic plastic welding technology is ideally suited for new materials and thin-wall technology used in lightweight automotive construction. This gentle assembly process makes it possible to significantly reduce the wall thickness of vehicle bumpers to approximately 2 millimeters without leaving visible marks on Class A surfaces of vehicle parts that are already painted.

Imaging System for Autonomous Vehicles
The Thermal Ranger platform is a monocular 3D system that enables object identification and ranging in complete darkness or in blinding light. It helps vehicles know how far away a living object is and what it is. The system operates day and night in all weather conditions. It definitively classifies vulnerable road users, including animals, cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles, while calculating position and direction to enable safe autonomous and semiautonomous operation.
