    In press shops, the automation degree is very high. The components must withstand extreme shocks and vibrations. Unrivalled quality and permanent availability are important to avoid failures and related financial losses.

    Materials Handling

    A common element of all work steps is the materials handling technology. Electric overhead conveyors, floor conveyor technology or driverless transport systems move body and vehicle parts between individual systems and functions.

    Reliability of the components is also very important in the paint shop. The cars are sprayed with different colours one after the other while on the paint-spray line. Downtimes in automobile paint lines have to be prevented without fail, occurring faults must be detected and remedied as quickly as possible.

    Powertrain production is characterised by machine tools and assembly lines. Protection solutions need to be compact, flexible and cost-effective. Diagnosis via IO link allows complete transparency of the DC 24 V power supply and is a part of predictive maintenance.

    Final assembly holds the highlight of car production: The marriage!

    Body and powertrain meet. DC 24 V protection and power distribution are of the utmost importance both at the assembly line and in the test equipment. Many sensors, actuators and the control unit need to be optimally protected to ensure smooth operation of the process.

     

    Electric Powertrain

    The batteries are manufactured in highly complex production facilities, which include precise coating and drying machines for electrodes, automated punching and cutting systems, as well as innovative cell assembly units. The integral test systems ensure the quality of the battery cells before they are assembled in battery packs, which are used in electric vehicles. 

    Electric motors are also manufactured on specialised production facilities. These facilities include machines for manufacturing stators and rotors, automated winding machines and comprehensive assembly units. A reliable process is the basic requirement for all these production steps. We support you with customer-specific solutions for generating, protecting and distributing the DC 24 V.

    Their protection solutions must be compact, flexible and cost-effective.

    If required, diagnosis functions via IO link or PROFINET provide comprehensive transparency of the DC 24 V power supply and they are a basic prerequisite for predictive maintenance.

    Predictive Maintenance / Digitization 

    The implementation of predictive maintenance and digitisation in automotive production reduces downtimes and cuts costs through targeted maintenance planning. Optimised resource utilisation and regular maintenance extend the service life of equipment and ensure high product quality. 

    Real-time data enables valid decisions and continuous process improvements, leading to more efficient and sustainable production. 

    We support you in this with the intelligent protection solutions from our ControlPlex® portfolio.
