Manz AG products

Cell contacting systems play a central role within the electric powertrain. They connect the individual battery cells to form a highly efficient battery module and pass on the voltage via sensor lines for power consumption. In the automated production of cell contact systems, a number of critical points must be taken into account in the plant design in order to prepare the processes and production facilities for large-scale production.

Sunlight is converted into electrical energy in solar cells, the core component of photovoltaic systems. Manufacturing these systems involves a wide range of production steps — from silicon extraction to module production. To manufacture these crystalline solar cells, Manz AG concentrates on the third step in the value creation chain: The process from wafer to cell.

The comprehensive product portfolio for manufacturing thin-film solar modules from Manz sets international standards for increased efficiency while lowering production costs. In contrast to crystalline solar technology, in thin-film solar technology the semiconductor is deposited on a glass substrate. This technology is named for the fact that the conductive layer is about 90 times thinner than in crystalline technology.

Fossile energy resources are limited – but locally produced renewables are the future. Choosing Manz means selecting a strong and reliable partner. Choosing the CIGSfab means selecting a mature business model for your investment.

Manz has decades of experience in the manufacture and installation of CIGS thin-film solar modules (CIGS = Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide). With this knowledge, we support you in your BIPV projects and together with our partners offer not only the right thin-film solar modules, but also complete, individually tailored system solutions.

Energy has to be ready when it is needed. For that reason, the high volatility of power grids must be balanced by an increasing percentage of renewable energy. This creates increasing demand for load balancing technologies and for intelligent, high-performance battery storage systems.

Our innovative new laser welding technology optimizes the production process of lithium-ion battery cells and offers numerous advantages over conventional ultrasonic welding technology.

Direct-to-product, direct-to-object, Functional or Direct2shape Printing – just a few terms for high-quality and, above all, direct printing and finishing of products, components and surfaces. As part of its comprehensive technology portfolio, Manz offers mechanical engineering solutions for the industrialization of digital printing using inkjet printing.

Global demand for production technology for lithium-ion battery cells and modules is growing steadily and will continue to rise sharply in the coming years, also driven by the expansion of electromobility. We have therefore set ourselves the goal of contributing to accelerating the transition to all-solid-state batteries and helping to build a sustainable and competitive battery industry in Europe. With our Lithium Ion Battery Factory of the Future (LBF) project, we are developing highly efficient machines and processes for the fully automated production of next-generation lithium ion batteries.

Higher resolution, better color saturation, a wider viewing angle — the properties of displays are largely determined by the equipment on which they are produced. As a leading high-tech manufacturer of equipment for producing LCD and OLED flat screens and touch sensors, Manz makes continuous breakthroughs in new technology and plays an important role in their introduction to everyday life.
