Cover to tray assembly

The final step of battery assembly is the mounting of the cover onto the battery tray. When joining a battery cover to its tray, more than 100 fasteners can be needed. This requires a fast application to achieve a short cycle time.

Precise positioning of the joining tool is crucial for the assembly process step to deliver the highest quality standards. MONO 3D performs pick-and-place of battery covers precisely and enables fast and reliable robot guidance which is the key driver for high-volume production. Fast image processing algorithms during computing increase the speed and accuracy of the tightening process. The MONOxD Software calculates the 3D coordinate transformation and sends the offset to the robot controller to optimize the tool path.

Fire Protection

Battery modules

In the event of a battery cell fire, it is essential that passengers have sufficient time to exit the vehicle safely. A 2-component fire protection material can be applied to delay the spread of flames. However, the effective application of this material requires a seamless and highly accurate flat stream application. 

Quiss bead inspection solutions control the precise material application to ensure it is correct.

Benefits

Improved quality​: Direct feedback on the volume applied to catch quality issues immediately

Easy to retrofit in existing systems

Inline-inspection – no additional cycle time

Automated bead repair function available​

Features and typical defects

Features

  • Monitoring of adhesive application in battery manufacturing

  • Inspection of all conventional adhesive and sealant application types and colors

  • Checks the adhesive or sealant bead’s position, width, and continuity

Typical defects

  • Gaps

  • Width deviations

  • Position deviations

Foreign Part Detection

Automated tightening with position control

After dispensing the compound thermal material, the module needs to be mounted and tightened to the battery tray. 

To avoid serious production quality issues and achieve short cycle times, the PowerPICK3D sensor ensures foreign part free assembly situation with its ultra-fast quality inspection and result provision. After acquiring the point cloud, the embedded processing unit compares the point cloud generated in production environment and calculates deviations from the CAD-file based on tolerances defined.

Benefits

Foreign object and contamination detection ensures a collision-free assembly process

Consistently high and reliable level of inspection quality based on 3D images

Overall process quality depends on accuracy and reliability of vision technology

Reliable solution: High precision and maximum robustness

Features and technical data

Features

  • Recognition of very small foreign objects, irrespective of their geometry or material, e.g. bolts, nuts, screws, nuts 

  • Robust against shiny surfaces (blue LED projection)

  • High accuracy​

Presence / Absence

VIVA Total Statistics OnlineGUI

Presence or absence detection is a crucial process step in the battery assembly process since it ensures the quality and completeness of the finished product. 

Automated visual inspection systems ensure that a specific feature or component is present in the product being made and that no defective or incorrect components arrive at the next manufacturing stage or the end customer.

Stationary or mobile cameras inspect assemblies and components for specified properties, including completeness, presence, and correct position. Defective components can be removed or reworked immediately. This ensures that production meets the quality requirements of the downstream processes to 100%.

Benefits

Unlimited flexibility and ease of use

Combination of all modules possible

Features

  • Configurable applications

  • Integrated sequence control

  • Suitable for any 2D application

  • Standardized user interface 

  • Multiple image processing tools integrated

Production analytics - Data-driven production efficiency

The web-based production analytics platform allows you to check the system status of all production lines at a glance or analyze production data in detail. With the quality management system, you analyze historical data, monitor current inspection data in real-time, and identify future trends in your production process.

Optimization of production

Dashboards allow you to compare production line and product data onsite or remotely, providing key insights for optimization. This enables you to make informed professional decisions along your value chain to increase the product quality as well as profitability. You can continuously track the progress of optimization measures and present them with visualized advanced reports.

Early detection of production defects

Detect and quickly identify the cause of threshold value violations at every stage of production with live status information and automatic alerts. As a result you can quickly resolve production defects, shorten downtime, and reduce production costs.

Predictive maintenance

You can prevent potential system failures by analyzing real-time data from the sensors and monitoring systems. This allows proactive planning of maintenance, based on the actual condition of the machines, instead of following a fixed schedule. This data-driven approach saves costs through reduced downtime and increased overall productivity, as well as longer production line life. 

Your benefits

  • Time-saving multi-line overviews, one view for all quality-related information
  • Minimize downtime by monitoring system health data
  • Faster reaction to quality issues with quality data monitoring
  • Fast elimination of production defects, reduction of production costs
  • Improved maintenance for reduced downtime, higher overall productivity and longer production line life
