Robotic Automation for Electric Vehicle Production
Technological advancements and manufacturing changes for the automotive industry continue to drive innovation. To accommodate rising demand for affordable, eco-friendly modes of transportation with less moving parts, electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with high-capacity batteries are now the focus of the future.
With payloads from 0.5 to 900 kg and robot reach options up to 4,683 mm, small and large application requirements are easily met.
Offering exceptional speed and accuracy, Yaskawa robots help reduce cycle times, eliminating bottlenecks and amplifying capacity for greater production throughput.
Well-suited for dull, dirty and dangerous tasks, robot integration bolsters the current workforce and optimizes worker safety.
Effectively replacing cars with internal combustion engines, fully electric EVs known as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid EVs called plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are boosting vehicle efficiency for consumers around the world.
Preparing to meet green vehicle production capacity head-on, manufacturers are proactively implementing robotic automation to address a wide variety of tasks. From aluminum weld methods for vehicle lightweighting to laser welding, adhesive dispensing and more for lithium-ion battery production, extremely reliable high-performance robots are rising to the occasion.
Yaskawa's high performance robots are a highly logical solution for handling large, heavy battery tray assemblies and more. Our robotic solutions provide many advantages, meeting electric vehicle production and supply chain snags head-on.
The EV battery market is predicted to grow 28.1% each year through 2028. Manufacturers are looking to robotic automation for fast and reliable assembly options to effectively reduce the demand-supply gap. >> Read more
