Customized or standardized: Determining what’s best for your battery-manufacturing operation Paid Members Public
Converting-equipment manufacturers face a variety of challenges related to customization when designing and building machinery for the energy-storage industry. The need for customization, whether based on emerging technologies for conventional battery materials, such as electrodes and separators
Closing the web-inspection loop with automatic defect marking Paid Members Public
Automatic web-inspection systems are becoming increasingly more popular. Whether it be surface inspection on an extruder, print inspection on a gravure press or a coatweight gauge on a laminator, web-fed processes can be monitored automatically for out-of-spec conditions.
A Basic Guide to Web Guiding Paid Members Public
Your web’s path may not be where you want it. One remedy is to find and correct the original source of the path upset. This might be as simple as moving the unwinding roll over sideways a bit.
Li-ion battery market to exceed $430 billion by 2033: IDTechEx Paid Members Public
With their comparatively high performance, low cost and wide availability, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are today’s pre-eminent energy-storage technology for applications ranging from small personal electronics to electric vehicles (EVs) to large....
How Do We Balance "Trust" with "Suspicion" on Base Substrates? Paid Members Public
Everyone who applies coatings worries about the coating process. But when it comes to the base substrate (film, foil, paper, etc.), people either are too trusting or too suspicious. None of us happen to suspect the base only when it is a problem...
Guide to the handling of materials and downstream construction of today’s energy-storage devices Paid Members Public
Few will argue the magnitude of the energy-storage gold rush that is happening right now. We are in a time where demand is pushing innovation harder than ever. The pressure to scale up from proof-of-concept to full-blown commercial production is immense and unyielding.
Electron-beam curing for battery production offers potential solutions Paid Members Public
It is no secret that batteries have become intrinsic to everyday life. Batteries have made mobile technology possible – from the flashlight to the Walkman to the cellphone – and, in turn, technology has demanded battery development keep pace.
Coating-process digitalization opportunities created by absolute, in-process, coating-thickness measurement data Paid Members Public
This article discusses some of the coating-process digitization opportunities created by real-time measurement of coating-thickness measurement data, especially by using a precise and absolute thickness-measurement technology known as ruggedized optical interference (ROI) technology.
