Our R&D, Project Management and Technical Team like to talk about new technologies only when we are 00% sure of their qualities and benefits in terms of production and business opportunities. ELISA time to market is just right now. The concept develops into the over-moulding of soundproof panels for automotive under body shields made in LWRT (Light Weight Reinforced Thermoplastics). ELISA is the choice of the new automotive generation. Meet ELISA in GSI
PATENT & INNOVATION db Electromagnetic Shielding for electric car battery box - complex cases Battery boxes need electromagnetic shielding in order to avoid obnoxious interferences with electronic devices such as radio, cell phones, etc. Nowadays shielding is achieved by co-molding aluminum frames with plastic, but due to the geometric complexity of the battery box lid shape, this technique is not very effective (results can be affected by the cracks that may take place on edges, e.g.), and competitors apply further layers of paint in order to cover such cracks and restore the complete shielding. Our own solution features several layers of thin aluminum foil, its shape ensuring the full coverage of the area to be shielded when assembled to the lid.
