Italian automation company Comau introduced a suite of new technologies at the Battery Show Europe 2025, including a modular platform for small-batch battery cell testing and cleanroom-compatible robotics designed for large-scale battery production.
The company’s new Lab Fixtures platform, originally developed for Slovenia’s National Institute of Chemistry, is now available to global clients. Designed for laboratory and limited-series use, the customizable system aims to improve the speed, safety, and efficiency of cell formation and testing, accelerating product validation and reducing time to market.
Also on display was Comau’s Racer-5 Sensitive Environments, a cleanroom- and dry room-certified articulated arm robot. Engineered for precision environments such as electronics manufacturing and battery cell formation, the robot addresses the growing need for contamination-free processes in high-tech energy production.
Battery cell formation—an early charging process critical to setting long-term performance characteristics—is a complex stage where even minor deviations can impact the end product, Comau said. Its solutions aim to improve process reliability and quality across the battery manufacturing lifecycle.
“Comau has long been at the forefront of electrification, delivering best-practice technologies across the entire battery lifecycle to fully support the electrification transition,” said Stefania Ferrero, Comau’s Chief Marketing Officer. “This end-to-end approach enables our customers to address both current and future production challenges, which is why we continue to invest in new technologies capable of enhancing and accelerating the battery manufacturing value chain.”
Comau’s showcase underlines its strategy to provide automation solutions for both pilot-scale innovation and gigawatt-scale manufacturing, positioning itself as a comprehensive partner in the battery production sector.
