Design of an Automated System for the Evaluation of Materials for Battery Research

During the development of new materials for battery production the produced materials have to be evaluated. Usually several single-layer battery cells of the developed material are assembled manually and characterized electrochemically. The results depend very largely on the manual assembly where an amount of random deviations tolerances affect the performance of the product (e.g. alignment of the electrodes or electrolyte filling).In this contribution possible sources of errors of the manual assembly are analyzed and a conceptual design of a new assembly system for a variant flexible and size-adapted automated system for the use in compact environments is created.
