Aerotech Timeline

Fuel Cell Applications

Aereotech gantries are used in many fuel cell manufacturing processes, including:

· MEA laser machining
· Cell Assembly
· Cell Sealing
· Final Inspection

Depending on your needs, a small open-frame gantry may be best for your application, or a large sealed gantry may be required. Feel free to contact us with the specifics of your application as we can customize our line of gantries to meet your production rate, accuracy, and operator requirements.

Aerotech gantries are suitable for machining MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) features at high speed while meeting the repeatability and accuracy required when stacking the MEA. Our high-performance dynamics combined with full-featured CNC controllers provides the ability to make through-holes and slots at high speed while maintaining extreme accuracy. Our multi-block look-ahead feature combined with PSO (Position Synchronized Output) for laser control provides superior throughput at the desired accuracy.

MEA patterns can be posted to the Automation 3200 controller for laser cutting.

For those applications that produce corrosive materials during cutting, sealed gantry solutions may be applicable. Additionally, special materials can be used in stage fabrication.

Customer cables for fiber fed, flying optics lasers, or cameras can be integrated into the cable management system to shorten integration times.
