Flexible Manufacturing Capability

  • NEV orders tend to be small batches and multi-category, and traditional production lines are troublesome to change
  • The collaborative robot drags and teaches, and the model change is fast and has strong flexible production capacity
  • Suitable for machining chassis parts, sub-frame, battery tray, commercial vehicle structural parts.

Stable and consistent welding quality

  • The quality of manual welding is unstable and fluctuates greatly
  • The robot is equipped with visual weld tracking to automatically correct the weld path, and the weld is uniform and uniform
  • Fewer welding defects, fewer reworks and higher yields.

Achieve a faster return on investment

  • Collaborative robots are easy to deploy, have low investment thresholds, and have no pressure to upgrade automation
  • Provide labor, improve efficiency, and reduce rework. Automobile welding projects can be repaid in 6–10 months.
