Abstract: A method for producing a battery module including a plurality of prismatic battery cells and/or a plurality of battery cells in the form of pouch cells includes, in a first method step, a force acting on a respective battery cell is detected in order to form a defined width of the battery cell. In a second method step, the plurality of battery cells are arranged adjacent to one another in a longitudinal direction of the battery module, and a compensating element is furthermore arranged between two battery cells arranged directly adjacent to one another. A width and/or a deformability of the compensating element is formed such that, when a defined total width of the battery module is formed, a defined force acts on a respective battery cell.

Abstract: A method for producing a battery module, having a plurality of prismatic battery cells and/or a plurality of battery cells in the form of pouch cells, includes in a first method step detecting a width of a battery cell when a defined force is applied to the respective battery cell. In a second method step, the plurality of battery cells are arranged adjacent to one another in a longitudinal direction of the battery module, and a compensating element is arranged between two battery cells arranged directly adjacent to one another. A width of the compensating element is formed in such a way that a sum of the widths of the two battery cells arranged directly adjacent to one another and the width of the compensating element has a defined value, so that ultimately the battery module has a defined overall width.

Abstract: A transport and loading assembly for a motor vehicle, such as a passenger car in particular, includes a loading area extending to a rear opening. The transport and loading assembly has a transport cart which has a chassis with multiple adjustable rollers and at least one transport container, wherein the chassis can be adjusted between a transport position and a loading position. The transport and loading assembly also has a loading device which can be installed in the loading area and which has a loading mechanism for loading and/or unloading the transport cart into or out of the loading area. The transport cart has an electrically operated height adjustment device, by means of which the height of the transport cart can be adjusted in the transport position. The chassis has an at least partly telescoping linkage in order to adjust the height of the transport cart and three rollers are held on a respective telescoping device, wherein the telescoping devices can be adjusted independently of one another.

Abstract: An apparatus for closing pasty-substance-filled tubular casings to form products, in particular for closing sausage-meat-filled casings is disclosed. The apparatus includes a filling tube with an outlet opening, having a brake and having clipper blades, which can be moved toward one another in a direction transverse to a filling direction, and which includes a measuring device, which establishes the caliber of the products in a contactless.
