Your fuel cell partner from R&D to production
Hydrogen fuel cells, an alternative to Li-ion batteries, are used to power a variety of systems including cars, buses, forklifts, portable devices, and other energy storage applications. Regardless of their purpose, fuel cells rely on bipolar plates, and the Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) welded between them, as key components.
Bipolar plates and MEAs are complex and demanding to produce, with hundreds typically required to produce a single fuel cell stack. Between cutting and trimming, drying electrode slurries, surface preparation, and welding together bipolar plate assemblies, laser processing has emerged as the method of choice to achieve high levels of precision and maximize throughput in the manufacturing process.
As a world-leading provider of laser solutions for e-mobility applications, we are equipped with real-world fuel cell manufacturing experience. Of course, every application is different — tell us about your application to learn how IPG laser solutions can optimize your fuel cell production.
