New Energy Production Automation

Manufacturers of lithium battery, photovoltaic, and energy storage system (ESS) production equipment — coating, slitting, winding, lamination, cell assembly, module pack lines, and PV stringer / framing automation.

Motion control and HMI for new energy production — lithium battery coating/slitting/winding/lamination, photovoltaic stringer and framing equipment, and energy storage system assembly. Built on the same Kinco AK series PLC, iSMK/iSMD integrated servos, FUTURE HMI, and EdgeAccess2 remote ops platform validated across packaging and logistics deployments. Detailed BOM publishing Q3 2026 as Drive source extraction completes.

/ 01Application Overview

Where this recipe fits

New energy production — lithium battery cells and packs, photovoltaic panels, and energy storage systems — demands precision motion control for web-fed coating, slitting, winding, lamination, cell assembly, module pack lines, and PV stringer/framing equipment. This solution recipe leverages the same Kinco motion control building blocks proven in packaging and logistics deployments, scaled for new-energy production duty cycles. Full BOM publication follows Drive source extraction.

/ 02Control Requirements

What the system needs to do

Lithium Battery Lines

Multi-brand component selection

The list below is a starting point. Final part numbers, quantities, and accessories are confirmed during RFQ based on motor power, I/O count, protocol, and certification scope.

Role Component Specification
CTRL Kinco AK840 / AK615S Motion controller · EtherCAT master
SERVO Kinco iSMD60/80 Integrated servo · 400W–1KW · multi-protocol
SERVO Kinco iSMK40/60/80 Compact integrated servo · 100W–750W · EtherCAT
HMI Kinco FUTURE Series HMI 7–15.6" · electronic signature for compliance
VFD Kemron KV4800 VFD For non-precision motor drives in pack line
PLATFORM Kinco EdgeAccess2 Remote diagnostic + OTA across distributed sites

Reference comparison: vs imported Japanese / European new energy production motion suppliers.

Alternative selection reference only. Final compatibility must be verified by power rating, I/O count, protocol, software logic, cabinet layout, safety requirements, and local approval.

/ 04Selection Logic

How we size each component

  1. Detailed sizing logic pending Drive PPT extraction. General principles: iSMK for cost-sensitive auxiliary axes, iSMD where multi-protocol or STO is required, AK series for >4-axis sync.
  2. Engineering review required for high-precision tension control (coating, slitting) — typical tolerance specs depend on coating chemistry and substrate.
/ 05Wiring & Protocol

Practical notes for cabinet build

  • Standard EtherCAT/CANopen/Modbus topologies apply as in packaging/logistics solutions
  • Electrolyte-handling and clean-room areas may require explosion-proof or IP-rated variants — confirm during BOM scoping
/ 06Migration Considerations

Coming from a legacy brand

  • Detailed migration content pending Drive PPT extraction (Phase 2)
  • General: replacement of imported Japanese/European motion suppliers in new-energy lines requires re-validation of motion profile and traceability records
/ 07Fit Assessment

When to use this recipe — and when not to

Good fit

  • Lithium battery production line builders seeking localized motion supply
  • Photovoltaic equipment OEMs scaling beyond pilot
  • ESS assembly integrators standardizing motion BOM

Not the right fit

  • Applications requiring ultra-high-precision (sub-micron) tension control where dedicated specialized brands dominate
  • Hazardous-area zones requiring ATEX/IECEx-rated motors and drives not yet covered by Kinco's standard portfolio
  • Projects requiring vendor-specific traceability platforms tightly coupled to motion controller firmware

Questions about this recipe

Why is detailed BOM content not yet published for new energy?

The full 2026 Kinco New Energy Industry Solutions material (~68MB EN PPT) is above the threshold our current source extraction process can handle directly. Full content publication is scheduled for Q3 2026 after local extraction completes. Card-level content above is verified against Kinco's general product portfolio applicable to new energy production.

Can we get a custom new energy BOM now?

+
Yes. Send specific application details (lithium / PV / ESS, production line stage, axis count, precision requirements, throughput target) and we will scope a BOM recommendation based on the validated building blocks from packaging and logistics deployments, with engineering review before quotation.

Is Kinco suitable for high-precision battery coating tension control?

+
Coating and slitting tension control demands evaluation against specific substrate, coating chemistry, and target tension tolerance. Kinco's general motion portfolio supports tension applications, but high-end coating lines may also require specialized winder controllers. Engineering review recommended before specification.
