With the rapid development of the energy storage and power battery industries, the production process requirements of battery modules (PACKs) are getting higher and higher. As a key link in PACK production, its efficiency and quality directly affect the performance and reliability of the module. . In recent years, automatic glue coating machines have gradually replaced traditional manual glue coating and have become the mainstream choice in the industry. This article will analyze the advantages of automatic glue coating machines from the aspects of glue coating speed, glue coating accuracy, consistency, cost-effectiveness, etc.
1. Gluing speed: efficient production and increase production capacity
1). Advantages of automatic glue coating machine
The automatic glue coating machine adopts high-precision motion control system and automatic glue coating technology to achieve continuous and high-speed glue coating operations. The glue coating speed can usually reach 23 times that of manual glue coating, which significantly improves production efficiency and is especially suitable for large-scale production needs.
2). Limitations of manual glue application
Manual glue application depends on the operator's proficiency. The glue application speed is slow and unstable, making it difficult to meet the high-capacity needs. In addition, manual operation is prone to fatigue, further affecting production efficiency.
2. Glue coating accuracy: high-precision control to improve product quality
1). Advantages of automatic glue coating machine
The automatic glue coating machine is equipped with high-precision sensors and control systems, which can accurately control the amount of glue, the glue coating path and the glue coating thickness, with an accuracy of up to ±0.1mm. This high-precision glue coating ensures the consistency and reliability of the battery module and reduces performance problems caused by uneven glue coating.
2). Limitations of manual glue application
The accuracy of manual glue application depends entirely on the experience of the operator, and problems such as uneven glue amount and deviation of glue application path are prone to occur, which affects the sealing and structural strength of the module.
3. Consistency: Stable and reliable, reducing the defect rate
1). Advantages of automatic glue coating machine
The automatic glue coating machine can ensure that the glue coating effect of each battery module is highly consistent, avoiding mass fluctuations caused by human factors. This consistency is crucial for the performance and safety of the battery module.
2). Limitations of manual glue application
The consistency of manual glue coating is poor, and there may be significant differences in the glue coating effect of different operators or the same operator at different time periods, which increases the defect rate of the product.
4. Cost-effectiveness: long-term savings and enhance competitiveness
1). Advantages of automatic glue coating machine
Although the initial investment of automatic glue coating machines is high, their long-term benefits are significant:
Reduce glue waste: Automatic glue coating machine accurately controls the amount of glue, reducing glue waste.
Reduce labor costs: Automation equipment reduces dependence on manpower and reduces labor costs.
Improve yield rate: High accuracy and consistency reduce the defective yield rate and reduce rework and repair costs.
2). Limitations of manual glue application
Manual glue is wasteful and requires a large number of skilled workers, which is relatively expensive in the long run. In addition, a higher yield rate will also increase additional costs.
5. Other advantages
1). Flexibility
The automatic glue coating machine can quickly adjust the glue coating path and parameters according to different product needs, and adapt to the production of battery modules of various specifications.
2). Environmental protection and safety
The automatic glue coating machine adopts a closed design, which reduces the harm of glue volatility to the environment and operators, and also reduces fire risks.
3). Data management
The automatic glue coating machine can record glue coating data, which facilitates quality traceability and production optimization, and helps enterprises achieve intelligent manufacturing.
6. Summary
Automatic glue coating machines are significantly better than manual glue coating in terms of glue coating speed, accuracy, consistency and cost-effectiveness, and have become the preferred solution for PACK glue coating. With the continuous improvement of the requirements for production efficiency and product quality in the battery industry, the application of automatic glue coating machines will be further popularized. With advanced technology and rich industry experience, Huiyao Laser can provide customers with efficient and reliable automatic glue coating solutions to help companies improve their competitiveness and market share.
By adopting automatic glue coating machines, enterprises can not only improve production efficiency and product quality, but also reduce long-term operating costs, laying a solid foundation for future sustainable development.
