Quality and efficiency improvement in electrode production

The new laser cutting system is integrated into our production line and is now fed directly from the raw material storage tower. In this way, the system can be loaded in a short way and the individual components of our anodes and cathodes can be directly cut out of the corresponding metals with extreme precision. With the help of a layout programme, an optimal utilisation of the material is possible. Less waste and the recycling of remaining material enable us to work in an extremely resource-saving way.

In terms of quality, our customers can look forward to the usual high level. This is promised by strictly monitored, interlocking and automated work steps and the elimination of subsequent processes.

We can now also manufacture complex designs completely in-house, which makes our production much more flexible. This allows us to reliably meet our delivery times and, if necessary, respond to short-term requests.

The spot welding machine that has now been installed is the new centrepiece at the end of the production line. Here, the individually manufactured frame and mesh design are joined together to form the finished anodes and cathodes. According to programmes specially developed for the individual electrodes, they are welded with the highest precision. In this way, all welding points are precisely defined and set absolutely identically on the entire electrode, despite different conditions. 

Different welding spots and thus different resistances in the welding spots are now a thing of the past and an exactly even current distribution is possible. For our customers, this means even higher quality metal deposition and more uniform electrolysis conditions.

There are not only qualitative advantages. The automated processing has a further positive effect on our already high delivery reliability.
