Products for Cell Manufacturing from Schunk

Ultrasonic welding system for battery cell contacting at Schunk Sonosystems

Bonding of Cell Housings, Cell Contacting Systems, and Sensor Technology

Ultrasonic welding enables precise, high‑strength connections for cell contacting and housing components 

  • Minimal heat input, maximum component protection:
    Ideal for temperature‑sensitive sensors and cell conductors, with no risk of warping, or thermal damage. 

  • High process stability with clean, reproducible results:
    Perfectly suited for automated production lines with short cycle times and demanding quality standards. 

  • Strong, durable metal‑to‑metal joints without additional materials:
    Cost‑efficient, reliable, and ideal for high‑current applications in battery systems. 

Cell Baking - Vacuum Post‑Drying of Battery Cells

Reliable solutions for removing residual moisture from battery cells to safeguard quality, safety, and service life. 

  •  Precision vacuum post‑drying with inline moisture management.

  •  Customised automation concepts and handling systems.

  •  Cell‑specific parameters incorporated into the system design for maximum process reliability and consistent quality.

Dry Room Systems for Battery Cell Production

Ultra‑dry, energy‑efficient environments for stable cell manufacturing

We design and deliver customised dry room systems for battery cell production, providing consistently controlled conditions from laboratory scale through to gigafactories.

  • Scalable solutions proven in facilities from 50 to 10,000 m², supporting reliable production ramp‑up.

  • Ultra‑low dew points down to –60 °C and below, achieved through advanced multi‑stage dehumidification.  

  • Energy‑optimised designs that reduce OPEX while maintaining stable process conditions. 

Safe Testing of Battery Cells - Environmental Simulation & Safety Testing

Reliable validation of safety, performance, and durability 

We provide a comprehensive portfolio of battery test chambers and custom testing systems for cell, module, and pack testing - from standard environmental simulation to advanced safety testing. 

  • Testing under thermal, climatic, and mechanical stresses, including combined environmental conditions. 

  • Systems configured in line with international standards and EUCAR hazard levels.

  • Abuse testing: A patented and TÜV‑certified test chamber designed for conducting battery abuse tests.
