As a leading provider of laser scanning solutions for the production environment, we support manufacturers in achieving greater precision, efficiency and flexibility in their production processes. When it comes to challenging applications such as the production of batteries and fuel cells, it is important to push the boundaries of technology while using reliable and proven products to achieve optimal results.
That is why we offer customised solutions for a wide range of battery manufacturing applications. See for yourself!
Optimise battery foil processing throughput with on-the-fly laser cutting
Laser cutting is an innovative solution for efficiently overcoming the challenges of roll-to-roll film cutting. Modern pre-focusing beam deflectors, such as the RAYLASE AXIALSCAN FIBER RD-50, have been specially developed for large processing areas. They offer the optimum combination of precision and speed that is required for demanding on-the-fly cutting applications. These systems can be used to enable long separating cuts or the cutting of entire electrode sheets. A large free aperture allows small spot diameters of about 50 µm, resulting in clean cuts and a minimal heat-affected zone. The lightweight mirrors in the beam deflection units allow high scanning speeds and dynamic cutting movements.
Your benefits at a glance:
- high laser power and reliable operation even under harsh production conditions with the AXIALSCAN FIBER series
- Cutting on the fly and continuous roll-to-roll processes thanks to the SP-ICE-3 card and RAYGUIDE software
- Optimisation of cutting results – even in dynamic applications such as processing on the fly thanks to PROCESS-DATA-ANALYZER

High process stability in laser welding for battery production
For safety-critical components such as battery cells or electrical connections in e-mobility, consistently high quality of welds and connections is essential. Even the smallest deviations can negatively affect the performance and safety of the end products. In addition, very thin materials are often used in battery production to save weight. Both of these factors place high demands on the process, and laser systems must therefore deliver consistent and precise results to meet the quality standards of e-mobility.
That is why RAYLASE offers scanning solutions such as the AXIALSCAN FIBER series, which has been specially optimised to meet these challenges:
-
High repeatability and stable z-focus thanks to low-drift, long-term stable galvo motors and highly accurate and dynamic RAYVOLUTION DRIVE z-axis
-
High laser power and reliable operation thanks to high-quality optics and cleanroom production
-
Maximum accuracy in the field thanks to supplementary tools such as the SCAN-FIELD-CALIBRATOR
The possible applications of laser welding are many and varied. That is why RAYLASE is working on this topic with numerous industrial customers and with highly renowned research institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen.

The BUSBAR WELDING MODULE as a complete application-specific solution
The RAYLASE BUSBAR WELDING MODULE is a specialised solution for the precise welding of busbars in battery production. It combines the AXIALSCAN FIBER RD-30, our OCT-based distance sensor RAYDIME METER and the RAYSPECTOR for in-focus image capture.
The advantages of the BUSBAR WELDING MODULE at a glance:
- Large processing area of up to 500 x 500 mm2 thanks to optimally matched, pre-focussing beam deflection unit
- Quick and precise levelling of height differences between batteries using OCT distance measurement and z-autofocus function
- Maintaining narrow process windows thanks to stable z-position of the focus through highly dynamic RAYVOLUTION DRIVE z-axis
- Precise process monitoring and control thanks to flexible and versatile interfaces for sensors

More InformationFurther RAYLASE solutions in battery production
The possibilities of laser technology in battery production are huge. Here are more examples of how customers use our products for their applications.
Pre-structuring for the sealing of battery casings
Adhesive processes play an important role in battery production. The company Robot-Technology, based in Großostheim, Germany, therefore relies on laser processing of the metal parts before the bonding process. This improves the surface properties of the components and ensures that the battery packs are sealed so that they are airtight and watertight. Further details on the subject of pre-structuring can be found here.
Laser cleaning improves battery production
The Canadian company Laserax uses RAYLASE products to clean battery components quickly and efficiently. The laser removes impurities or oxide layers, for example, and achieves improved contact properties. You can find more information about laser cleaning on our website.
Deflection units in the production of solid-state batteries
At the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) at the Technical University of Munich, researchers are working on the batteries of tomorrow. The deflection units from RAYLASE are part of the research and production facility. Find out more here.
