Together with the electric motor, the battery pack is at the heart of an electric powertrain. Once the battery cells have been assembled into modules, they are inserted into the final pack. The operation of such a system in an electric vehicle places extremely high demands on the safety and reliability of the components used. That is why the individual processes are usually fully automated. We will draw on our expertise to understand and consider your application-specific requirements and offer you a suitable handling solution.
It is common practice to use six-axis robots, but is that the most efficient solution? When you compare these with gantry systems, like here in the example of a battery pack assembly, the differences become clear.
In comparison, production lines with gantry systems have a footprint that is up to 20% smaller and need around 50% fewer drives, as only the degrees of freedom that are actually needed are integrated in the machine. This means that you can reduce your costs in the long term. You only pay for the functions you really need.
With us, you can select the optimum solution from our extensive range of handling systems and Cartesian robots. Our ready-to-install systems provide you with a fast and reliable solution for your application, one that is fully assembled, tested and perfectly coordinated – electric, pneumatic or a mix. Energy chain, connection technology and matching drive package can be included on request.
