Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Valiant Machine & Tool Inc.

$228,596.00

Electric Vehicle Battery Tray Leak Test and Washing System Machine Tools

FY 2021-22 · 2021-12-06

Summary
A major challenge faced by automotive manufacturers in the highly evolving Electric Vehicle market, is the construction, selling/financing and the life management of high capacity and efficiency battery packs. The battery pack is by far the most critical component of any EV; as it bears the highest cost and is responsible for the primary function of the vehicle. As a result, ensuring the quality and durability of the battery pack is of paramount importance to the vehicle engineers. Existing technologies for Washing (Remove manufacturing contaminants before final assembly) and leak testing (check for water tightness) are not capable of producing satisfactory results in the allowable cycle time, so new technologies are proposed.

Description (French)
L'un des principaux défis auxquels sont confrontés les fabricants automobiles sur le marché très évolutif des véhicules électriques est la fabrication, la vente/le financement et la gestion de la durée de vie des batteries à haute capacité et efficacité. Le bloc-batterie est de loin le composant le plus crucial de tout véhicule électrique, car il représente le coût le plus élevé et est responsable de la fonction principale du véhicule. Par conséquent, il est de la plus haute importance pour les ingénieurs du véhicule d'assurer la qualité et la durabilité du bloc-batterie. Les technologies existantes de lavage (élimination des contaminants de fabrication avant l'assemblage final) et de test d'étanchéité (vérification de l'étanchéité) ne sont pas capables de produire des résultats satisfaisants dans le temps de cycle autorisé, c'est pourquoi de nouvelles technologies sont proposées.
