FFT: Modular Assembly Line Helps Industrialization of Hydrogen Fuel Cells

hydrogen fuel cells have been used more and more in commercial vehicles, aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles and other fields due to their advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental friendliness, wide range of fuel sources and high reliability. But in general, fuel cells are still in the initial stage of development, and there are still many changes in their products, and their production capacity also changes with market demand to a large extent. Therefore, how to ensure the reliability of key process equipment while taking into account changes in products and production capacity is a key issue that hydrogen fuel cell suppliers or new energy vehicle and aircraft manufacturers cannot avoid at this stage.

 
and FFT, as a global supplier of production systems in the automotive and aerospace fields, actively plans to make breakthroughs in key process paths such as bipolar plate manufacturing, battery stacking assembly, and terminal testing by arranging the manufacturing process of hydrogen fuel cells in advance and developing in collaboration with partners and customers, and has developed a hydrogen fuel cell modular production line with a maximum annual capacity of 50,000, covering battery packs with different densities of 63.5kW to 250kW, fully meet the flexible production needs of customers in the field of commercial new energy vehicles and aerospace. The characteristics of the modular production line are as follows:

 

and Efficient Bipolar Plate Production Line

 

bipolar plate adopts an innovative 6-step stamping process, which can adapt to the stamping of stainless steel coils ranging from 0.05 to 0.2mm; the connection of the bipolar plate adopts robot laser remote welding, which can quickly complete high-quality, Reliable welds, and adapt to different battery sizes; PVD online coating is used for coating, which can effectively improve conductivity and corrosion resistance while simplifying process steps and improving production tempo; the gasket adopts on-line casting method, which can adapt to rapid aging.

 

compact modular assembly line

 

FFT focuses on the design concept of modularization and customization in the stacking assembly process. Through standardized interfaces, each module can be easily coupled with each other, or run as a single machine according to requirements, so as to minimize the area of the production line and effectively improve the efficiency of customers. At the same time, combined with digital twin/mirror technology, the key stations in the FFT assembly line can be quickly recombined, and the reorganized virtual joint and capacity verification can be carried out in advance to reduce risk costs and shorten the manufacturing cycle. Whether it is single-variety mass production or multi-variety small-and medium-volume production, FFT's modular assembly line has unique advantages.
