The change to e\u2011mobility is in full swing. It is time for the auto\u00admo\u00adtive industry to change lanes: from fossil fuels and combus\u00adtion engines with crank\u00adshafts, pistons and injector nozzles, to batteries and e\u2011drives with hairpin stators, shafts and rotors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chal\u00adlenge here lies in the fast and safe conver\u00adsion of the manu\u00adfac\u00adturing and assembly processes for the required compo\u00adnents. In addi\u00adtion, the steps for assembly, handling and produc\u00adtion in e\u2011car manu\u00adfac\u00adturing are not yet as stan\u00addard\u00adized as for internal combus\u00adtion vehi\u00adcles. This means that engi\u00adneers and produc\u00adtion managers have to rethink a number of aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

High degree of automa\u00adtion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

E\u2011mobility requires highly flex\u00adible, customiz\u00adable and versa\u00adtile produc\u00adtion processes. The upcoming conver\u00adsion of e\u2011mobility to mass produc\u00adtion while at the same time taking indi\u00advidual customer require\u00adments into account cannot be achieved without incor\u00adpo\u00adrating automa\u00adtion in produc\u00adtion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the conver\u00adsion process, SCHUNK stays at your side as a compe\u00adtent partner, supplying every\u00adthing\u2013 from the axis system to the robot acces\u00adsories \u2013 from one source. This reduces the number of inter\u00adfaces required and helps with the design and project plan\u00adning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clever combi\u00adna\u00adtions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with our stan\u00addard port\u00adfolio, there are plenty of indi\u00advidual processes that can be mapped out. On top of that, customers also benefit from the company\u2019s many years of indus\u00adtrial expe\u00adri\u00adence and compre\u00adhen\u00adsive engi\u00adneering exper\u00adtise. The well-known auto\u00admo\u00adtive manu\u00adfac\u00adturers and their suppliers already enlist SCHUNK prod\u00aducts, greatly accel\u00ader\u00adating their inte\u00adgra\u00adtion into new process chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proven solu\u00adtions can already be found on the market for the following three
compo\u00adnent groups: the e\u2011drive<\/strong><\/a>, battery<\/a> <\/strong>and fuel cell<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
