INCT Smart Assembly Line Solution for New Energy Battery Module & PACK Production

Application Overview

With the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle and energy storage industries, battery module, PACK, and CTP manufacturing lines are required to achieve higher levels of precision, stability, and automation. These production systems typically operate 24 hours a day and must support a wide range of assembly processes within the same line.

This application describes an automation solution developed by INCT for new energy battery manufacturing, integrating motion, pressing, and transmission components to support efficient and consistent battery assembly.

Engineering Challenges

Battery assembly lines face continuous-operation requirements, placing high demands on equipment reliability, service life, and maintenance stability.

Multiple battery structures—including prismatic, cylindrical, solid-state, and energy storage cells—require flexible system configurations capable of adapting to different processes and layouts.

Assembly processes such as module forming, press-fitting, holding, and fastening require precise control of force, position, and torque, along with traceable process data to ensure product consistency.
