Abstract


Due to the increasing number of electric cars and consequently lithium ion
batteries, the automation of disassembly becomes vital. Therefor
information on lithium ion batteries referring to components, geometries,
materials and joining technologies are collected and a concept for the
automated disassembly is deduced. In this context, the applications of
sensors for the identification of batteries, as well as actors for the cutting are
evaluated.

Keywords
