I dettagli della sinergia e del progetto

  • L'eccellenza lombarda (MG Calibri): La MG di Travagliato è specializzata nella progettazione e produzione di calibri di misura per attributi, sistemi di controllo dimensionale e linee per il controllo di tenuta. È un fornitore storico dei maggiori player dell' automotive mondiale.

  • La commessa per General Motors: Attraverso la filiale statunitense Marposs Corp. (che ha il suo quartier generale proprio ad Auburn Hills, nella periferia di Detroit, Michigan), le tecnologie sviluppate in Lombardia da MG sono state integrate in linee e impianti pilota negli Stati Uniti per i collaudi dei motori e dei componenti di General Motors. [1, 2]

  • L'evoluzione e la rinascita di Detroit: Questo legame strategico è così rilevante da essere stato celebrato anche a livello istituzionale e mediatico. La presenza e l'impatto delle tecnologie Marposs e dei suoi marchi nella transizione industriale della capitale dell'auto americana sono stati raccontati nel documentario della RAI "Detroit, l'araba fenice", che ha messo in luce proprio il ruolo delle imprese innovative italiane nella rinascita del Michigan

Un dettaglio che chiude il cerchio tecnologico: la parte robotica avanzata per le stazioni di plasma cleaning e di wrapping delle celle è firmata da Siscodata Computer S.r.l. di Arcisate (Varese). [1]

Si tratta di un tassello fondamentale nel campo dell'E-Mobility, settore in cui l'azienda varesina è leader. [2]

Il ruolo di Siscodata nell'impianto per GM

Nello sviluppo di linee pilota e di produzione per i colossi dell' auto come General Motors e altri, il processo si divide in sotto-sistemi integrati:

  • Il sistema di E-Mobility Cell Wrapping: Siscodata ha ingegnerizzato soluzioni robotiche specifiche per il trattamento e l'isolamento delle celle prismatiche e cilindriche destinate ai pacchi batteria dei veicoli elettrici (Auti e Biciclette). [1, 2]

  • Plasma Cleaning: Prima del wrapping (l'avvolgimento isolante con nastri speciali, ad esempio Tesa o 3M), la superficie della cella al litio deve essere perfettamente pulita e attivata a livello molecolare. Il braccio robotico guida la torcia al plasma per garantire un'adesione impeccabile del film isolante. [1, 3]

  • Wrapping e Top Label: Subito dopo la pulizia, l'automazione di Siscodata esegue l'avvolgimento ad altissima precisione (in-cell lamination) e l'applicazione dell'etichetta superiore (top label). [1, 2]

Una filiera lombarda (e italiana) integrata

Questo progetto per Detroit dimostra come i grandi player internazionali integrino le eccellenze del nostro territorio: da un lato la misurazione, i controlli dimensionali e i test di tenuta (affidati alle tecnologie nate in MG/Marposs), dall'altro l'automazione robotica spinta e la manipolazione dei componenti critici delle batterie (sviluppata da Siscodata ad Arcisate).

Details of the synergy and the project

Lombard Excellence (MG S.p.A): MG, based in Travagliato (BS), specializes in the design and manufacture of attribute gauges, dimensional inspection systems, and leak-test lines. It is a long-standing supplier to the world’s leading automotive manufacturers.

The Contract with General Motors: Through its U.S. subsidiary, Marposs Corp. (headquartered in Auburn Hills, on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan), the technologies developed in Lombardy by MG have been integrated into pilot lines and facilities in the United States for testing General Motors’ engines and components. [1, 2]

The Evolution and Rebirth of Detroit: This strategic partnership is so significant that it has been celebrated at both the institutional and media levels. The presence and impact of Marposs technologies and its brands in the industrial transition of America’s automotive capital were chronicled in the RAI documentary “Detroit, the Phoenix,” which highlighted the role of innovative Italian companies in Michigan’s rebirth.Here the Italian broadcasting link:

One detail that brings the technological picture full circle: the advanced robotics for the plasma cleaning and cell wrapping stations are provided by Siscodata Computer S.r.l. of Arcisate (Varese). [1]

This is a key milestone in the field of e-mobility, a sector in which the Varese-based company is a leader. [2]

Siscodata’s Role in the GM Plant

In the development of pilot and production lines for automotive giants such as General Motors and others, the process is divided into integrated subsystems:

The E-Mobility Cell Wrapping System: Siscodata has engineered specific robotic solutions for the handling and insulation of prismatic and cylindrical cells intended for electric vehicle battery packs (cars and bicycles). [1, 2]

Plasma Cleaning: Before wrapping (the insulating wrapping with special tapes, such as Tesa or 3M), the surface of the lithium cell must be perfectly clean and activated at the molecular level. The robotic arm guides the plasma torch to ensure flawless adhesion of the insulating film. [1, 3]

Wrapping and Top Label: Immediately after cleaning, Siscodata’s automated system performs high-precision wrapping (in-cell lamination) and applies the top label. [1, 2]

An Integrated Lombardy (and Italian) Supply Chain

This project for Detroit demonstrates how major international players integrate the areas of excellence from our region: on the one hand, measurement and quality control.

La tecnologia garantisce un'elevata precisione nell'isolamento, fondamentale per ottimizzare la densità energetica e la sicurezza nel mercato e-bike, permettendo al contempo rapidi cambi formato e conformità agli standard UL/CSA per le Gigafactory. Per ulteriori informazioni, call Mrs.Laura Cattaneo or Mr.Brambilla  +39.0332.472471 or e-mail at info@siscodata.com   .]

La linea è stata progettata per rispondere alle rigorose normative del mercato USA (IRA e UL) e per garantire alta densità energetica nel settore e-mobility . Il sistema integra un controllo di visione artificiale avanzato, in grado di rilevare in tempo reale bolle d'aria e micro-pieghe sul film isolante, garantendo la qualità del prodotto finale e gestendo cambi formato rapidi.



Siscodata hat eine automatisierte Pilotanlage für die Verarbeitung prismatischer Zellen eingeführt, deren Schwerpunkt auf dem Umwickeln, Reinigen und der dielektrischen Isolierung liegt und die darauf ausgelegt ist, die Anforderungen des US-Marktes sowie die IRA-Vorschriften zu erfüllen. Die Technologie gewährleistet eine hohe Präzision bei der Isolierung, was für die Optimierung der Energiedichte und der Sicherheit auf dem E-Bike-Markt von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, und ermöglicht gleichzeitig schnelle Formatwechsel sowie die Einhaltung der UL/CSA-Normen für Gigafactories. 

Die Anlage wurde entwickelt, um die strengen Vorschriften des US-Marktes (IRA und UL) zu erfüllen und eine hohe Energiedichte im Bereich der E-Mobilität zu gewährleisten [2]. Das System verfügt über eine fortschrittliche Bildverarbeitungssteuerung, die Luftblasen und Mikrofalten auf der Isolierfolie in Echtzeit erkennen kann, wodurch die Qualität des Endprodukts sichergestellt und schnelle Formatwechsel ermöglicht werden .


Siscodata has introduced an automated pilot line for processing prismatic cells, focused on wrapping, cleaning, and dielectric insulation, designed to meet U.S. market requirements and IRA standards. The technology ensures high precision in insulation—which is essential for optimizing energy density and safety in the e-bike market—while enabling rapid format changes and compliance with UL/CSA standards for Gigafactories. 

The line was designed to meet the stringent regulations of the U.S. market (IRA and UL) and to ensure high energy density in the e-mobility sector [2]. The system incorporates advanced machine vision control capable of detecting air bubbles and micro-creases on the insulating film in real time, ensuring the quality of the final product and enabling rapid format changes 







TESA film:
85µm (50 backing + 35 glue) thicker film is possible up to 220µm.
As per drawing the PET film is
• MED009657_A01 M21: 112mm length 960,9 ±1mm
• MED009683_A01 M26: 110mm width and length 1363,0
±1mm
Note: the roll film must be provided without splice jointure.Siscodata has an extra cost automatic device module to avoid also this problem (see post coming soon).
Film roll:
size and dimensions:
• pass width: from min. 105 mm up to max. 120 mm.
• external diameter: 320 mm max.
• internal diameter: 75 mm
• bobbin absolute maximum weight: 12 Kg
Film cut device:  rotating blade or laser 450 nm option
MICA:
specifications to be defined in a further stage, but we foresee:
• picking technology: Vacuum venturi generator;
• loaded manually on a silos stack: max height 500 mm.
• only one glued surface cover by liner 
• red peeling label: the position of the red label must be defined
with Siscodata in a further project step and can have only
±2mm position error.
Precision of application: position on module bottom as follow:
• Film: ±1mm
• Mica: ±1mm
This error will be added up to the previous errors of the geometry of
the module received.
Bubble / Wrinkle:
under PET film. It will depend on the battery surface and the
alignment between battery and under module (for example “PAD not
in position”: in case a compressing PAD is not in the correct position,
then the bottom lamination will lead to a consequential error).
Cycle time:
72 seconds/module max. time cycle.
Note: in the area will be 2-3 modules in process at the same time 

Process:

1. Robot1 picks a module and drops it on the underwrapping unit position, with

bottom part exposed. Robot gripper and Underwrapping-Gripper must be

compatible among themselves: so, Siscodata will share specifications to Kuka in

a further project stage in order to design such gripper.

2. Underwrapping unit moves the module on an X-Y axis.

3. Before lamination, we suggest cleaning the surface with “Air Taifun” system and

air aspirator (see “Option CLEAN”)

4. Film lamination will be done as per Pict. 5. Length of film will be fixed (not adapted

to module size).

5. OPTIONAL CAMERA (extra cost not included): Keyence linear camera (same system as cell    wrapping) can check the film adhesion just after lamination.

6. Then Robot2 picks the module and brings it to MICA application station.

7. Here a de-stacking and pealing unit exposes a single MICA plate with exposed glue.

8. An application tampon sticks the MICA layer to the bottom center part of the module.

9. Robot1 picks again the module and passes it on the Camera checking station

(more info on actual camera is needed).

10. Robot1 drops the module again on the input line.
