Driven by the "dual carbon" strategy and global energy transition, hydrogen energy and energy storage batteries have become core growth sectors of clean energy. The precision processing demand for key components is driving laser technology to become a critical support for industrial upgrades. With over a decade of technological accumulation, HGTECH has achieved full layout and breakthroughs in the hydrogen electrolyzer production line and energy storage battery laser processing sectors. By providing a full range of “Laser + Smart” solutions, HGTECH has built a core competitive edge and becomes a core enabler of high-end manufacturing in clean energy, injecting strong laser energy into the industry's high-quality development.

Hydrogen Energy: Full-Chain Approach, GW-Level Benchmark

As a key component of the future energy system, the processing precision and level of intelligence of electrolyzer equipment directly determine hydrogen production efficiency and costs. HGTECH has deepened its presence along the full "production-storage-transportation-utilization" chain, offering solutions from intelligent single machines to automated production lines to smart factories. HGTECH has become a leader in electrolyzer equipment manufacturing.

HGTECH covers four major technical routes in hydrogen energy electrolysis: alkaline electrolyzer (ALK), proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC), and anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer, completing the full process layout from core component processing to entire stack assembly. The alkaline electrolyzer production line is compatible with specifications from 500–1500 Nm³/h and supports GW-level production capacity; PEM electrolyzer features precision cutting of titanium felt and automation of stack stacking; SOEC overcomes ceramic cutting and electrode plate welding processes; AEM completes die pressing welding and stack assembly equipment development, precisely matching different hydrogen production scenarios.

In October 2024, a GW-level fully automated alkaline electrolyzer production line, co-developed by HGTECH, will be launched, setting a benchmark for the industry. The first phase of the project has a 1GW capacity, with a future plan of 4GW, realizing the "4 100% standards" of intelligent manufacturing: full automation, quality self-assessment, product digitization, and information sharing. The core equipment features the LAH3000R frame electrode plate robot laser welding system, replacing traditional gas shielded welding to solve issues like large workpiece deformation and poor airtightness. This improves production efficiency by 40% compared to traditional lines, with a yield rate of ≥99.5%.

HGTECH’s hydrogen energy solutions provide a full-cycle engineering service, with five core capabilities helping clients upgrade their industries: full-process coverage for machining, welding, testing, and assembly; compatibility with 1.5–3m electrode plates, with flexible annual production capacities of 1–3GW; integration of weld seam tracking, quality monitoring, and AGV logistics systems for intelligent process control; rapid 90-day delivery for GW-level production lines; customized development solutions for different electrolysis routes, ensuring processing precision and product performance.

Energy Storage Batteries: Breakthroughs Enabling Precision Manufacturing

The global energy storage market has surpassed 500 GWh, and the requirements for the precision and efficiency of core components in power and energy storage batteries continue to rise. HGTECH focuses on four core links: battery cells, modules, PACK, and cold plates, developing full-process automated solutions for laser welding, cutting, and cleaning. In 2025, HGTECH will debut intelligent laser welding equipment for power battery cold plates, achieving multiple technological breakthroughs and becoming a key enabler for high-end manufacturing in energy storage batteries.

As the core component of battery thermal management, the welding quality of cold plates is crucial for battery safety and endurance. The challenges of aluminum’s high reflectivity and microchannel sealing have long restricted industry development. HGTECH’s newly launched intelligent laser welding automation equipment for power battery cold plates, based on beam energy control technology, integrates technologies from multiple fields to achieve seven breakthroughs: adaptive energy control overcoming high reflectivity of aluminum, achieving a weld depth-to-width ratio of 10:1; AI molten pool monitoring and closed-loop feedback system, improving yield to 99%; supports multi-material plates from 0.2–8mm thickness with a welding speed of ≥15m/min; heat-affected zone <0.1mm, with micron-level control to meet microchannel gap sealing requirements; precise positioning and synchronous cooling ensure stable long weld seam processing; two-dimensional drawings are directly converted into welding codes, accommodating both research and mass production; replacing traditional brazing for green, low-carbon manufacturing. This equipment positions HGTECH at the forefront of cold plate manufacturing technology, meeting the explosive market demands for cold plates in new energy vehicles (70 billion CNY) and energy storage (11 billion CNY) by 2026.
