Do welding processes need a power source?

Traditionally, welding processes in the construction sector have relied on conventional power sources, presenting a myriad of challenges. From erratic power supply to high operational costs and environmental concerns, the limitations of these traditional solutions have been evident.

How has Aggreko shaped the future of welding in construction?

From initial concept to real-world implementation, this partnership has been instrumental in shaping the future of welding in construction. Aggreko's Battery Energy Storage Systems represent a paradigm shift across the construction industry, and specifically, welding applications.

What is laser welding?

Laser welding is a newer technology, introduced in the manufacturing marketplace in the mid-1980s. As laser technology has matured, and the awareness of its benefits spread, it has become an established process. Today it is simply another tool in the manufacturing engineer’s toolbox to be used and implemented as needed.

Can a laser be used for battery module welding?

Laser welding is significantly faster showing the allure of the laser for battery module welding. Cycle time can be reduced even further with the use of a galvo scanning system, where some motion is handled by quick motions in the galvo head, and then indexed after all cells within the welding field are addressed.

What is ultrasonic welding?

Ultrasonic welding is commonly used for the joining of the internal electrode battery materials, which are usually constructed of thin foils of aluminum and copper. The remaining joining requirements – including the connections inside the can, and external terminal tab connections – are well suited to resistance, microTIG, and laser welding.

How does a weld work?

For each weld, the electrodes on the weld head must be lowered to the workpiece, squeeze time (is amount of time to apply pressure until the weld fires) must be applied, and then there is the weld time, hold time (after weld fires and starts to cool), and finally raising the electrodes back to home position.
