Complex Multi-Layer Skin-Contact Components

As the demand for battery-powered vehicles and equipment continues to grow, so does the need for innovation in the thermal management space. Proper thermal management is essential for ensuring battery safety, performance, and longevity — and custom die-cut parts play a key role in addressing multiple thermal-management challenges at multiple levels in and around a battery pack: Cell to cell Cell to module Module to module Pack level Thermal management materials like flexible graphite, ceramic papers, polyamide papers, polypropylene, thermal gap pads, and more can be used to solve a variety of different heat management challenges, from spreading heat away from sensitive components t blocking propagation from one part of the battery to the next. These materials are typically produced in large rolls or sheets. To be utilized in a battery, these components must first be transformed into custom solutions by a specialized converter such as JBC Technologies. JBC uses a variety of vertically integrated converting techniques, including rotary and platen press die-cutting, laminating, slitting, ultrasonic welding, embossing and micro perforating, to create custom parts designed to solve our customers’ unique challenge. A few examples of how we can add value include: Stacking/Lamination -—Whether it is the combination of thin aluminum foil over polyester/fiberglass insulation or the application of heat-sensitive adhesive to both sides of a ceramic compression pad, sandwiching specialty materials together provides more bang for the thermal management buck. Pull Tabs — At JBC, we know that fast and efficient assembly is critical for our end customers. Many of our parts include an adhesive backing for assembly and alignment purposes. Time spent removing this backing can make or break an assembly process. Our integrated pull-tabs enable fast manual and automated removal of sacrificial liners prior to assembly. Kiss Cutting — Presenting custom die-cut parts on rolls is one more way we add value to the assembly process. Kiss cutting enables the fast damage-free removal of parts from the release liner thereby supporting their efficient and accurate placement during in line assembly. Kitting —Our kitting service is designed to lower both purchasing and inventory costs. By providing kits of custom labeled, rolled and die-cut components were helping to ensure that they are ready when needed while lowering the impact of part maintenance costs. Inventory Management — Providing just-in-time (JIT) delivery, on-site inventory management, and stock-keeping programs can help effectively manage our customers’ carrying costs and improve manufacturing throughput. | Whether you need die-cut components for wearable medical devices that are utilized in a traditional hospital setting or to serve the rapidly growing remote patient monitoring market, JBC Technologies is here to help.
