LEEC: Fast, reliable edge coating for EV battery components
Technology Description
LEEC is a laser-based method that helps insulation coatings stick better to the edges and corners of battery components. In electric vehicles (EVs), drones, and underwater robots, these coatings are essential to prevent electrical shorts and energy loss. Traditional methods require multiple layers to cover sharp edges. LEEC uses a laser and chemical spray to prepare the surface, allowing a single layer of coating to spread evenly and reliably.
Advantages
- Streamlined Manufacturing: Simplifies the coating process by reducing the need for multiple layers.
- Improved Safety: Enhances insulation coverage on hard-to-reach edges and corners, helping prevent electrical issues.
- Cost-Efficient: Minimizes material waste and lowers production overhead.
- Scalable Solution: Designed for high-volume production and easy integration into existing workflows.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for electric vehicles, drones, and underwater systems.
- Automation-Friendly: Compatible with advanced laser systems for precise and flexible processing.
