In almost every facet of today’s world, from telecommunications to transportation, from tiny cell phones to construction vehicles, batteries are included. New advances in battery technology, particularly lithium-ion and multi-cell prismatic designs, create new, unique challenges in automating battery assembly. Battery production can truly be described as an industry in which the only constant is constant change: new designs, new production techniques, new automation approaches, and radical changes in demand. The challenge for assembly system designers is to create specialized approaches for varying methods of stacking cells, connecting tabs, module packaging (gluing, bonding, heat sealing), and much more, while also keeping in mind that the needs of today will not necessarily be the needs of tomorrow. One of the best responses to this ever-changing environment has proven to be the use of conveyor technologies that make it easier to both create and alter assembly lines, allowing manufacturers to expand prod
