Xaar, a leader in industrial inkjet technology, is driving advancements in electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing with improvements in safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Through its partnerships with Shifang Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Shenzhen Omijia Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., traditional coating methods are being replaced with Xaar’s innovative inkjet technology, powered by its Xaar eX and Nitrox eX printheads.
The electric vehicle market’s rapid growth is driving increased demand for battery packs capable of withstanding higher voltages. As a result, effective coatings are essential for providing robust protection against the heat generated during high-voltage charging and preventing wear and tear caused by densely packed battery configurations. Traditional coating methods, such as PET film, have struggled to meet these demands, creating a barrier to improved battery performance.
As the first inkjet company to introduce a printhead specifically designed for the battery sector, Xaar provides advanced technologies – such as its TF Technology for consistent ink recirculation and Sure Flow self-cleaning to deliver reliable performance and simplified maintenance. Xaar’s High Laydown Technology also offers significant advantages for ink formulators, providing the flexibility to design high-performance coatings that ensure even, uniform layers that are essential for battery safety and durability.
