The future of battery production: innovations and solutions from Schaeffler Special Machinery
In the modern world, electromobility, together with energy transition, is driving unstoppable demand for high-performance battery systems. According to BloombergNEF, around 22 million electric vehicles will be sold worldwide in 2025, an increase of 25% compared to 2024. China in particular dominates the market with a 65% share of all sales, followed by Europe and the USA.
This development not only requires groundbreaking innovations in cell technology, but also in the production processes of such complex systems. Schaeffler Special Machinery is at the forefront of this by offering solutions for future-oriented battery production that are modular, automated and sustainable.
3 dimensional multi-material printing allows up to three different materials to be used in a single printing process. This enables the production of versatile products that would otherwise be difficult to achieve using traditional methods. For example, components with solid cores, flexible outer layers, and conductive elements can be produced in one step.
Virtual commissioning is an integral part of Schaeffler Special Machinery's engineering process. Using simulation software such as fe.screen-sim, our teams can test machines and systems digitally, flexibly and from any location at an early stage of the project.
When standard isn’t enough: This custom-built test rig for truck clutches is designed to handle extreme mechanical forces, high precision requirements, and complex testing scenarios. High-performance End of Line (EoL) test rigs are critical for validating component functionality and quality prior to delivery.
Efficient, flexible, and precisely tailored: Our modular End of Line (EoL) platform sets a new standard in the final validation of driveline components. In many industries, EoL testing plays a decisive role in ensuring that every product leaving the factory meets defined performance and quality criteria.
