AWL-Techniek B.V.

AWL can provide various processes for the production of bipolar plates. Aside from welding plates, the production process includes various pretreatment and post-treatment steps. This starts with the meticulous, automated inspection of the plates for contamination and defects. Image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence are used for this purpose. Contaminated plates must be cleaned to be able to guarantee welding quality, leak-tightness and the ultimate functionality of the bipolar plates. After the plates are joined together, they are welded to create a bipolar plate.

After virtually every process step, the product is inspected, ranging from optical inspections to a leak-tightness test after welding. This avoids expensive or time-consuming processes, such as coating, from being applied to products that are already defective and ensures that the end-product meets the strict quality requirements. All of these processes can be integrated by AWL on a transfer line in configurable order and quantity. This makes the AWL’s solution modular, scalable and flexible.
