The new energy vehicle industry drives a surge in demand for truss manipulators

Background of the demand for truss manipulators in the new energy vehicle industry

Expanding production scale: Global sales of new energy vehicles continue to grow, with a year-on-year increase of more than 40% in the first half of 2023. To meet market demand, production lines for core components such as batteries, motors, and electronic controls require more efficient automation equipment.

High-precision requirements: New energy vehicle parts (such as battery modules and cells) have extremely high assembly accuracy requirements, which are difficult to meet with traditional manual operations. Truss manipulators have become the first choice due to their high precision and high stability.

Cost reduction and efficiency improvement: The new energy vehicle industry is highly competitive, and companies need to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency through automated equipment. Truss manipulators play an important role in material handling, assembly, and testing.

Typical applications of truss manipulators in the new energy vehicle industry

Battery production line:
Cell handling: Truss manipulators are used for automatic loading and unloading and transportation of cells to ensure efficient and damage-free handling.
Module assembly: High-precision truss manipulators complete the stacking, welding and testing of battery modules to improve assembly consistency.
Battery pack handling: Heavy-duty truss manipulators are used for the transfer and palletizing of battery packs to meet large load requirements.

Motor production line:
Stator/rotor handling: Truss manipulators realize automatic loading and unloading and assembly of motor core components.
Inspection and sorting: Truss manipulators with integrated visual systems are used for quality inspection and sorting of motor finished products.

Vehicle assembly line:
Body component handling: Truss manipulators are used for automated installation of doors, seats and other components.
Gluing and welding: High-precision truss manipulators complete body gluing and welding operations to ensure process consistency.

The rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry has brought huge market opportunities for truss manipulators. With the continuous advancement of technology and the deepening of application, truss manipulators will play an increasingly important role in the production of new energy vehicles and become one of the core equipment for the industry's automation upgrade.
