Exotic Automation + Supply to Deliver Molded Composite Rollers to A123 Systems

A123 Systems has chosen Specialty Products Group of Exotic Automation & Supply to supply molded composite rollers for manufacturing lithium ion batteries.

Lithium ion battery production is a difficult process. Anode and cathode materials based on copper are the key parts of the battery and these materials are removed if damaged or contaminated.

A123 Systems has been utilizing machined nylon rollers, which has limited lifetime. In addition, the rollers can contaminate or cause damage to the delicate cathode and anode materials. The molded composite rollers from Exotic Automation & Supply have longer lifespan. They are cost-effective and offer superior performance.

Specialty Products Group produces a series of In-System Damage Protection products that protect Class A surfaces such as painted metal sheet, fragile metallic material and soft materials from dents, scratches and other damages all through the production process.

The molded roller that has been developed for A123 Systems is result of a challenge that represents unique solution requiring very high tolerances and reliable performance.

At present, Specialty Products Group develops new material handling solutions for the lithium ion battery industry. These solutions will be combined with new and existing battery manufacturing systems for application in electric smart grid sector, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and consumer electronics industry.
