Creates a cell formation manufacturing solution
for small series production of customized lithium-ion cells
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
that CUSTOMCELLS®, a leading provider
of special lithium-ion battery cells, will install Keysight's
battery cell formation line in its
manufacturing facility in Tübingen, Germany. The collaboration also
includes the development and validation of new algorithms,
software, instrumentation, and formation/measurement methods.
Keysight’s cell formation line provides CUSTOMCELLS® with
state-of-the-art industrial cell formation, including quality
measurements, such as direct measurement of cell self-discharge and
cell impedance spectroscopy. Keysight also provided CUSTOMCELLS® a
wide range of pouch cell form factors. Keysight’s battery cell
formation line is designed to form pouch cells of up to 200
millimeters (mm) x 200 mm in pressure trays undergoing various
formation processes and cycles. Keysight’s cell formation software
will link together all formation and measurement stations to
provide secure, web-based control and access to data collected
during the formation process.
“We are committed to supporting the electrification of vehicles
by helping to develop and manufacture advanced battery cells,” said
Thomas Goetzl, general manager of Keysight's Automotive and Energy
Solutions business unit. “Keysight’s state-of-the-art formation
electronics, measurements, fixturing, and software will enable
CUSTOMCELLS® to produce innovative cells using a process that
addresses current and future customer needs.”
In addition, Keysight will provide CUSTOMCELLS® a platform for
cooperative invention and deployment of next generation
manufacturing solutions, including power electronics as well as
fixturing and software components, enabling a state-of-the-art
battery cell manufacturing process for pouch cells in a variety of
sizes.
“Our mission is to produce special application, tailor-made
cells that meet our customer’s unique requirements. The Keysight
solution gives us the flexibility we need to support that mission
and enable full traceability,” said Leopold K�nig, CEO of
