Vacuum processing guarantees recycling rates of up to 95 percent for rare raw materialsVacuum technology is used in numerous process steps in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries: in mixing and degassing the battery slurries, in drying the coils, in filling, and in the subsequent leak test. But vacuum technology is also indispensable in mechanical recycling, so that the cell modules can be dried in the process.Three recycling processes:1. PyrometallurgyThere are three processes for the first half of recycling: First, the cell modules are processed into fractions that can then be further processed. “The first is pyrometallurgy,” says Sebastian Rosensträter, Application…

From precision machining to advanced cooling, Pratap Tex-Chem Pvt. Ltd. is helping EV and automotive manufacturers build for a more demanding future.The electric vehicle is no longer simply an alternative to the internal-combustion engine. It represents a fundamental shift in how vehicles are designed, engineered and manufactured.Globally, electric-car sales exceeded 20 million units in 2025, meaning that around one in every four new cars sold was electric. India’s electric-car market also gained momentum, with sales rising 75% year-on-year to approximately 165,000 units.For OEMs and component manufacturers, this growth raises an equally important question:How can the next generation of mobility products…

As modern manufacturing moves towards tighter tolerances, complex geometries and increasingly demanding surface specifications, conventional dimensional inspection alone is no longer sufficient. A component may conform to its basic dimensional requirements and yet fail to perform because of deviations in surface form, contour, roundness, straightness or profile. This is where surface form measuring machines and advanced metrology assume critical importance. From automotive and aerospace components to precision moulds, bearings, gears, medical devices and semiconductor equipment, manufacturers increasingly require sophisticated measurement systems capable of verifying not only size but also the complete geometric integrity of a component. Surface form measurement has…

The aerospace industry is experiencing an upswing. New launch vehicles, more satellite launches, and increasing demands in the aerospace and defense sectors are forcing companies to realign their production. MT Aerospace is also facing this trend. Headquartered in Augsburg, the company develops and manufactures, among other things, tanks and structural components for the European Ariane 6 launch vehicle, as well as components for satellites, the aviation industry, and the defense sector. As the industry grows, so do the demands on production. Manufacturing that once involved relatively small production runs is gradually evolving into industrial-scale production with significantly higher output volumes.For…

Multi-axis machining has evolved from being a specialised capability reserved for complex aerospace and mould-making applications into a strategic manufacturing technology for industries demanding extreme precision, shorter lead times and greater geometric freedom. As manufacturers move towards lighter components, tighter tolerances, difficult-to-machine materials and increasingly complex geometries, multi-axis machining is poised to become an even more important pillar of high-precision manufacturing.Unlike conventional three-axis machining, which generally involves movement along the X, Y and Z axes, multi-axis machines add rotary and tilting axes to enable the cutting tool and workpiece to be oriented simultaneously. Five-axis machining, for instance, can position the…

In modern manufacturing, productivity is increasingly determined not only by the capability of the machine tool, but also by the availability and condition of the cutting tools supporting it. A machine may be capable of operating at high speeds and feeds, yet a missing, worn, incorrectly preset or improperly selected tool can bring an entire production operation to a standstill. As manufacturers move towards lights-out production, high-mix manufacturing and increasingly automated machining, intelligent tool management has therefore emerged as a critical enabler of productivity. Smart Tool Management Systems (STMS) combine tool identification, inventory control, presetting, tool-life monitoring, data analytics and…
