2,000 housings per minute: that's the output rate of the production line Schuler has now sold to South Korean manufacturer LT Precision. The quantity corresponds to about half the battery cells installed in an average electric car. The scope of supply includes a cupping system and a total of seven post-processing presses including the corresponding dies, which are built by the company's subsidiary Aweba.
Germany-based Schuler has acquired the Italian mechanical engineering firm Sovema Group to become a systems supplier of battery cell manufacturing systems for the automotive industry and other sectors. Together with Sovema, Schuler will develop the capabilities needed to equip gigafactories for the mass production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
