The shift toward e-mobility is in full swing. It is time for the automotive industry to change lanes: from fossil fuels and combustion engines with crankshafts, pistons and injector nozzles to batteries and e-drives with hairpin stators, shafts and rotors. The challenge here lies in the fast and safe conversion of the manufacturing and assembly processes for the required components.
SCHUNK is your reliable partner for this changeover. We are an automation specialist and competence leader for toolholding and workholding, gripping technology and automation technology and supply you with everything from axis systems to robot accessories from a single source.
Through the clever combination of our standard products, we always find an individually suitable solution for you. You will benefit from our many years of engineering know-how in the industry. SCHUNK products are already known by all well-known automotive manufacturers and their suppliers. This accelerates integration into new process chains enormously and keeps you in the fast lane from the very beginning when switching to e-mobility.
We are at the forefront of every step in the production and assembly of e-drives. Regardless of whether it concerns the specific setting of the hairpins, the handling of the sheet metal packages or the assembly of the components to the finished e-axis – SCHUNK can support you. Thereby we take into account special processrequirements such as flexibility due to the many different hairpins, precision and dynamics for very short cycle times, and maximum reliability for a long service life of the system.
