BUSINESS DIVISION ASSEMBLY & TESTING TECHNOLOGY
Assembly systems for HV boxes and module connectors
AKE has already developed and built numerous
systems for the assembly of high voltage boxes
(HV boxes).
These systems are designed as manual workpiece
carrier (WPC) lines. The worker pushes the WPC from
station to station. and performs the assembly steps
with the aid of the permanently mounted machinery
components. The cost-intensive parts are mounted
directly on the machine frame, and exchangeable
trolleys make it possible to process different
component variants.
Here it must be ensured that all system components
which come into contact with the parts are designed
as ESD (electrostatic discharge) components, in order
not to damage the sensitive HV boxes.
Our many years of experience in the assembly of HV
boxes make us an expert partner in this difficult area.
A further application in the area of electric
components assembly is the manufacture of module
connectors. These are used in electric vehicles, and
provide the complete vehicle with power.
The systems for the manufacture of module
connectors consist of up to three welding cells, an
intermediately positioned manual workstation and
downstream testing cells.
In the welding cells, power rails are connected using
so-called flex belts. At the manual workstation, the
previously manufactured welded assemblies are
installed in the casing. Finally a visual inspection for
correct workmanship and a high-voltage test take
place in the testing cells.
Our applications for the manufacture of electric
components have already been used for many electric
vehicles, including those of Audi, AMG, and Porsche.
