OPTIMA continues to advance fuel cell manufacturing technology Optima Life Science is developing a test converter specifically for the development and testing of innovative manufacturing processes for fuel cells . The German specialist in the field of webprocessing technologies already offers production systems for fuel cells with a
high output . Building on this experience , the company is currently developing a modular test converter whereby innovative ideas , process optimizations , and product developments can be implemented quickly and easily . In the future , production processes for fuel cells will first be verified in a development environment before being transferred to highperformance systems .
Further developments in fuel cell technology will require new structures and dimensions of the fuel cells and thus also of the membrane electrode assembly ( MEA ). The need for the development and refinement of manufacturing processes is therefore in high demand . The OPTIMA MTC ( Modular Test Converter ) has been designed specifically for this purpose . With it , the adaptable arrangement of the different processes , the reconfiguration and the addition and removal of process steps become reality , and individual processes and complex process can be tested . Other benefits of the OPTI- MA MTC include sampling , small series production , and the possibility to combine product development and manufacturing process development .
