Discover the new G.D Z-Stack Folding machine
G.D and Coesia enter the Energy Storage Systems market with innovative solutions
Environmental awareness has been rapidly spreading among consumers over the last decade, becoming one of the most influential factors guiding their habits and choices in several markets.
Technological developments in renewable energy have made great leaps forward in production and need to be sustained by the implementation of efficient and advanced Energy Storage Systems to cater to mass-utilization and vast capacities.
Coesia is ready to support this transition through the development of innovative technologies based on the consolidated expertise of the group’s companies, like G.D.
G.D Z-Stack: a compact solution
G.D treasures a 100-year tradition of technological innovation, with an established mastery in high-speed continuous motion solutions. In the Energy Storage System production, the G.D’s know-how finds a perfect application in the Cell Manufacturing process, where the electrodes are cut and folded to assembly the single cell.
The G.D Z-Stack is an electrode stacking system achieving outstanding production speeds and capable of producing a wide range of cell sizes, with a considerable productivity per square meter increase compared to traditional systems. One of the key aspects to consider for this process is the stress peak effect caused by the folding tension, our solution is designed to prevent this phenomenon while maintaining a competitive speed.
The compact design and modular structure allow for an optimized footprint compared to solutions available on the market and adaptable layout configurations, making the Z-Stack the perfect ally to meet the specific needs of your production and plant.
For an automation-intensive approach, this solution requires minimal action from operators, thanks to the optional automatic reels change and splice units with adhesive tape feed, making splice operations autonomous. A self-diagnosis system ensures high precision in material positioning guaranteeing the quality of the final product.
The digital architecture of the G.D Stacker is based on innovative technologies, allowing for data collection and management required in the most advanced battery production environments.
Quality and precision are pivotal aspects in battery manufacturing, this is why our Z-Stack is equipped with multiple inspection and monitoring systems. The integrated digital infrastructure ensures full real-time control over the process through an inspection camera system, recording the movement of each part and promptly identifying issues. The control unit is fully integrated into the machine, significantly reducing overall dimensions, and eliminating overhead wireways.
Competitive speed and productivity rate, combined with a compact and flexible footprint are the essence of the G.D Z-Stack.
The solution is part of the Coesia Energy Storage Systems portfolio, leveraging the technological expertise of the Group’s companies to provide fully integrated lines for battery cell manufacturing, through the development of new critical technologies and our international network of manufacturing equipment suppliers.
