Ev Battery Manufacturing
The Future is EV
With the United States Government providing 3.1 billion in funding for electronic vehicle battery manufacturing and components to boost supply chain as a part of their Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, there has never been more incentive for vehicle manufacturers to fully commit to electric vehicle production that could see more than half of vehicles on the road to be electric by 2030.
Automakers such as Ford and Stellantis are completely redirecting their platforms in how they engineer new vehicles to be completely electric in the future.
Ford is committing 22 billion to further expand its EV lineup through 2025 with the Mustang Mach, E-Transit van and F-150 in four plants across North America. They are constructing a manufacturing site called the Blue Oval City in Tennesse and twin battery plants in central Kentucky, creating 11,000 news jobs.
Stellantis’s second EV battery plant in North America is slated to begin production in 2025 in Indiana, with a $2.5 billion investment. According to the manufacturer, they have already committed to $35 billion in electronic vehicle related funding across their brands with plans to reveal an electric Dodge muscle car and Ram 1500 pickup in 2024.

Its geometry is designed for high speed, energy efficiency and higher loads. It applies to continuous and intermittent processes.
Motion Index Drives LFA HSP allows to ramp up production and lift the output to the next level. Typical feed times with a total load of 200kg are as follows: With torque motor, even shorter times are possible.
features
Advantages
- Short indexing times: the geometry of the U-turn is designed to compensat radial forces.
- Precision of +/- 0.05 mm: the system inherits position accuracy two servo motors.
- Energy efficient: custom acceleration ramps reduce the power consumption of the system.
- Constant velocity: new possibilities for operations in motion.
- Quick setup: no progamming of individual carriers.
- Low-maintenance and robust: no fine tuning in operation necessary.
