2K Low-medium volume application
In EV battery manufacturing, bonding cells together with adhesives such as 2K epoxy, urethanes, or silicones is essential for both structural integrity and thermal management. 2K epoxy and polyurethane (PU) adhesives are primarily used for structural bonding due to their exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to mechanical stresses. These adhesives ensure that the battery cells remain securely attached, even under the rigors of vehicle operation. Additionally, these materials provide excellent thermal conductivity, aiding in the efficient dissipation of heat generated during battery operation. Silicone adhesives, known for their flexibility and high-temperature tolerance, complement this by maintaining adhesion despite thermal expansion and contraction, thus enhancing the overall thermal performance and safety of EV batteries.
Which equipment do we offer?
Our iKS tandem dosing units assure best in class precision and accurate dispense for high viscosity applications. The iKS1 electric shotmeter covers capacities ranging from 15 to 400cc and work with a FIFO principle. Each shotmeter dispenses 2 components to a static mixer.
Sames Intec pump stations are known for their proven and durable design. The system for conveying high viscosity materials can operate cold or fully heated, with a single or a double barrel system. A large choice of seal packings, pump powers and feeding capacity cover all sorts of applications.
For large productions, 200L or 1000 L dual ram units are fitted best.
A cutting-edge vision system ensures precise bead positioning, dimension, and continuity in real time. It seamlessly integrates into gluing equipment, offering automatic bead finding within designated contour areas.
In cooperation with the leading manufacturers of inspection equipment for adhesive beads, we offer seam inspection systems in 2D and 3D as an option. They are useful for checking the material application of 1K and 2K dosing units.
For some applications in body in white, pre-treatment of the surfaces before the bonding process is recommended to ensure a clean and adhesive substrate. This is the case if the component has residues of grease, oil or dust. If this is not done, the manufacturer risks reducing adhesion and the full effectiveness of the bond.
The proven system from the Sames Intec range was specially developed for the pre-treatment of surfaces in car body construction. The system is based on felt cubes that are soaked with cleaning agent and then run along the intended adhesive track of the component.
