Top Battery Material Processing Tool in Apac 2025
Every breakthrough battery starts with the right tools, and Nogamigiken has become the precision tool manufacturer that makes such innovation possible. Since its founding in 1970, the company has refined machining and measurement technologies under its guiding principle of Management of Technology, using core expertise to deliver solutions that create lasting value. “We carefully listen to both explicit and latent customer needs to propose optimal products and services,” says Ryota Nogami, representative director. This customer-focused approach ensures that Nogamigiken drives enduring client relationships while advancing battery development. Its portfolio spans ultra-sharp cutting blades, precision gauges, long-life dies, and specialized punching systems designed to meet the demanding requirements of secondary battery development. These tools feature innovations such as adhesion-resistant cutting for aluminum-based cathodes, ultra-narrow clearances down to two μm, and selectable clearance options that help minimize burrs and delamination. Unlike others that cause the active layer to collapse or peel, Nogamigiken’s handheld punches prevent damage, preserving sample integrity for accurate mass and density measurements. By combining deep technical mastery with a commitment to customer-driven innovation, Nogamigiken has become a trusted partner to automotive leaders, battery producers, universities, and research institutions across Japan, Europe, and North America. Innovative Tools for Next-Generation Batteries Since the 1990s, Nogamigiken has expanded into press die design and mass production, creating ultra-precise, long-life components. In 2000, it launched a dedicated solutions business to address explicit and latent customer needs, providing tailored products and technical support. By 2008, the company had entered the battery development field, helping manufacturers and researchers tackle the challenges of processing delicate electrode materials..
Power Generation
Growing in tandem with Taiwan’s dynamic energy storage industry, Recharge Power has emerged as the largest and leading company in this sector. Its impressive track record speaks for itself. With over 600 megawatt-hours of energy storage systems installed across Taiwan and the distinction of leading Taiwan’s first automatic frequency control (AFC) demo project, Recharge Power’s deep-rooted involvement with Taipower and Taiwan’s energy administration has cemented its position as a key player in the nation’s energy transformation. From inception to completion, Recharge Power orchestrates every facet of the energy storage process. It begins with securing essential permits and lease agreements, determining optimal battery size and designing complex electrical and civil works. The company’s financial team then conducts comprehensive assessments and builds robust financial models, ensuring the viability and profitability of each project. Meanwhile, the in-house software engineers, armed with profound industry knowledge, craft flexible turnkey solutions tailored to client needs. Strategic collaborations with financial institutions further bolster the company’s capacity to deliver high-performing, cost-effective solutions. This collaboration extends beyond project completion, as Recharge Power continues to support its clients with dedicated operation and maintenance (O&M) services and power trading service aggregation, ensuring long-term success and reliability. In 2020, Recharge Power achieved a milestone by completing Taiwan’s first utility-scale energy storage project. This project continues to operate with exceptional quality and service, having a service performance index (SPI) averaging 99.96 percent, significantly surpassing Taipower’s requirement of 95 percent. Additionally, Recharge Power spearheaded the Luyuan project, Taipower’s first financial procurement bidding program, delivering superior automatic frequency control services. This project marked Taipower’s first selfbuilt online system.
