Flexible Produktionsysteme/Agile Battery Cell Manufacturing as Response for Volatile Markets and Technologies

Die industrielle Batteriezellfertigung ist geprägt durch starre Produktionssysteme für die Massenfertigung. Die Fertigung anwendungsspezifischer Zellen im geringen bis mittleren Stückzahlsegment erfolgt derzeit kostenintensiv in einer Werkstattfertigung. Basierend auf standardisierten Roboterzellen und einer flexiblen Steuerungsarchitektur wird ein Konzept zur hoch automatisierten material-, format- und stückzahlflexiblen Batteriezellfertigung beschrieben.   Industrial battery cell production is characterized by rigid production systems for mass production. The production of application-specific cells in a low to medium quantity segment is currently performed by cost-intensive workshop production. Based on standardized robotic cells and a flexible control architecture, a concept for highly automated battery cell production that is flexible in terms of material, format and number of units is described.

Integration of a Signal Processing and Control ASIC With the JPL Micro-Gyroscope

This paper describes the integration of a vibratory rate sensor—the JPL microgyro—with a special purpose control ASIC developed at UCLA. The digital ASIC has a flexible control architecture that can be customized for individual sensors. We describe this process for one sensor prototype and include experimental results demonstrating the efficacy of the ASIC.
