Suitable Applications
- Transfer of automotive seat assemblies for assembly.
- Vacuum handling of automotive sheet-metal parts.
- Handling and assembly assistance for welding EV battery trays.
- Flip assembly of automotive headliner trim.
Solution Design Priorities
- Determine allowable contact areas from finished surfaces and structural features.
- Operating feel and pick-and-place path are designed to cycle-time requirements.
- Select column-mounted, overhead-mounted or mobile-base installation based on workstation space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is custom tooling suitable for automotive parts handling?
Automotive parts have complex shapes and demanding appearance requirements, making it difficult for general-purpose tooling to provide both stable gripping and surface protection.
What should be considered when handling EV battery trays?
Key considerations include workpiece dimensions, weight, deformation risk, positioning datums and interference at welding/assembly workstations.
Can one system handle multiple vehicle models?
Adjustable, quick-change or multi-size tooling can provide flexible compatibility within a defined range.
