Welding is challenging. It’s hard to inspect failures. Welds must be done in a consistent, repeatable process. Stack them too fast, and the packs do not line up.

Automotive manufacturer.

A strong weld creates an efficient charge and discharge of the battery. A high-quality weld can prolong the battery’s life and withstand crashes. ATS spent 3-years developing this unique approach for GM, that accurately detects and validate the welds.
