The complex of technological equipment for the manufacture of bipolar plates for ultralight fuel cells includes laser cutting, forming and welding installations. The laser cutting machine is a laser machine with special equipment for cutting workpieces and technological holes. The molding unit includes a support frame with a plate on which a corrugating machine with strikers and equipment corresponding to the dimensions of the gas supply channel of the bipolar plate, a control unit and a stepper drive are installed. Clamping pressure is generated by a pneumatic cylinder. The installation for welding the cathode and anode parts of a bipolar plate consists of a table for welding, a worktop, an automated control system for the welding process, and a welding unit.

1. Installation of laser cutting. 2. Installation of molding. 3. Installation of automatic welding.

Using this complex of technological equipment, a power plant based on solid polymer fuel cells with a capacity of 1.5 kW was manufactured to participate in the UpGreat Technology Competition “First Element. Air" National Technology Initiative. The unit showed the best result in Russia - specific energy consumption of 529.3 W*h/kg.
