LEVA-EU member Cleantron, a specialist producer of li-ion battery modules based in the Netherlands, has installed cutting-edge Trumpf laser-welding technology into its production line, allowing for increased output with enhanced product quality and reduced environmental impact.

Cleantron’s product design features a fused welding technology, giving every welded cell its own fuse, and so offering intrinsic battery safety. Laser welding is the key to enabling this safety feature.

Precision laser welding for multiple battery pack types

The equipment is described by Cleantron as a key production enabler, performing laser welding with high accuracy, speed and reliability across a wide range of battery cells. From swappable lithium batteries for LEVs to li-ion battery packs for industrial equipment, the machine ensures consistent results.

The system allows for rapid production changeovers and minimal downtime, enabling Cleantron to quickly shift between lithium ion battery 48v, 36V e-bike battery, and lithium ion battery 48v modules, and from low voltage to high voltage battery configurations.

Durable welds and smart BMS integration

Cleantron is able to ensure reliable connections within its lithium-ion battery products thanks to the Trumpf technology. The production line enables smart welding and built-in vision systems for high-quality joins, minimal defects, and full traceability.

Combined with Cleantron’s proprietary battery management systems (BMS), the precision of laser welding directly supports safer, longer-lasting, and smarter battery solutions designed to perform in demanding environments.

Efficient, environmentally friendly production

Cleantron highlights that the Trumpf technology allows them to reduce waste and the need for reworking, and boost production capacity, enabling enhanced consistency of product quality at both small and large production quantities.

With a wide range of lithium-ion battery products including those suited to the e-bike and light electric vehicle sectors, they provide reliable power solutions to European brands with minimal shipping miles, further boosting the sustainability of Europe-made products.
