Tech Tips: Removing the Bottleneck in Welding Electrical Conductors for EVs 

The need to increase the rate of joining electrically conducting components has become critically important in the electric vehicle sector as it is emerging to be the bottleneck of manufacturing, according to Alex O’Farrell, development engineer with Cambridge Vacuum Engineering. As a maker of welding machinery, the UK-based company works close to the subject. In a recent presentation prepared for the 75th International Institute of Welding Annual Assembly & Conference in Tokyo, O’Farrell made his case for electron beam welding technology, highlighted here.
