预计到 2030 年，全球电动汽车的数量将以每年约 30% 的速度增长。与此同时，电气化动力总成的生产工艺也在发生变化。迄今为止，半自动化生产流程一直主导着传统的内燃机汽车制造，而电池单元和电动马达的制造正日益发展成为全自动生产流程。作为自动化技术领域的领先制造商，Festo 在从电池生产到电机组装的价值链上都有合适的解决方案。

Experts estimate that around 3 million tonnes of used batteries from electric cars will be due for recycling in 2030. This inevitably raises the question of sustainability, as batteries are energy storage devices made from critical raw materials. Festo therefore not only offers modular automation concepts for cell production, the assembly of battery modules and packs and for platform integration, but also for dismantling and recycling or separating the materials.

Ergonomics improves efficiency thanks to a servo-pneumatic balancer that enables employees in assembly and logistics to lift and move loads effortlessly, using just two fingers. At the heart of the balancer is the powerful and reliable drive solution YHBP from Festo with automatic weight detection and safety Performance Level d – perfect for the automotive and packaging industries.

The success and reputation of electric vehicle manufacturers depend on the safe and flawless functioning of batteries. HAHN Automation Group has therefore developed a battery tester that carries out a complete test of the mobile energy storage units fully automatically. A 3-axis gantry for optical and leak tests, consisting of electric drives from Festo, takes centre stage.
