Project Overview
The main challenges in motor stator handling are generally not weight alone, but pick-and-place clearance, gripping method and assembly positioning.
AUREK selects internal-expansion, external-clamping, lifting or combination tooling based on the stator structure, together with the appropriate manipulator mounting configuration.
Key Parameters / Solution Details
| Workpiece | Motor Stators / Motor Components |
|---|---|
| Equipment Configuration | Overhead-Mounted or Mobile-Base Pneumatic Industrial Manipulator |
| Tooling Type | Internal Expanding Gripper, External Clamp, Lifting Tool or Custom Combination Tooling |
| Required Motion | Pick-up, lifting, horizontal travel, positioning, assembly loading and unloading |
| Process Stage | Motor Assembly, Inspection, Machining Loading/Unloading and Multi-Station Transfer |
Application Challenge
- Stator mass is concentrated, making direct manual handling physically demanding.
- Limited workstation space may require the equipment to clear the production line.
- Placing stators into tooling or equipment requires reliable positioning stability.
AUREK Solutions
- An overhead-mounted solution saves floor space and covers a fixed workstation.
- Mobile-base solutions support flexible transfer between multiple workstations.
- Tooling can be customized to the stator inner bore, outer diameter and allowable load-bearing areas.
Solution Value
- Reduce manual effort for stator loading and unloading.
- Improve flexibility across multiple workstations.
- Reduce impacts and positioning errors during placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an internal expanding gripper suitable for motor stators?
If the inner-bore geometry, strength and process permit, an internal expanding gripper can be evaluated; otherwise, consider an external clamp or combination tooling.
How should overhead-mounted and mobile-base configurations be selected?
For a fixed workstation with limited floor space, choose overhead-mounted; for flexible sharing across workstations, evaluate mobile-base.
Are drawings required for stator handling?
Provide the overall dimensions, weight, inner-bore dimensions, permitted contact points and workstation photos.
