Battery production in the gigafactory: Bosch Rexroth presents solution portfolio

Battery production is considered a key technology for the energy transition. Manufacturers will only be able to meet the high demand in the future by rapidly scaling up battery production capacities.

Battery production in the gigafactory: Bosch Rexroth presents solution portfolio

One solution for cell handling and transportation combines the VarioFlow chain conveyor system with a spiral conveyor. The round cells are first delivered by the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) ACTIVE Shuttle and then placed on the conveyor by a cobot from Kassow Robots. The spiral conveyor makes it possible to distribute various tasks, such as sorting, over several levels up to a height of 3.5 meters and thus create important buffers and storage areas above the transport routes of the actual production.

With speeds of up to 5 m/s, the linear high-speed motion system ctrlX FLOWHS can be moved and controlled individually for on-the-fly testing of individual round cells or for applying insulation, among other things. The system is based on the control unit ctrlX CORE and therefore benefits from the openness and safety of the automation system ctrlX AUTOMATION.

Bosch Rexroth offers further solutions for module and pack assembly - including transportation, insertion, gluing of the cells and screwing of the cover. Thanks to the high precision of the Rexroth linear axes, positioning does not require any additional measuring systems such as image processing, making assembly faster and more economical.

The TS 7 plus heavy-duty transfer system enables the safe, highly dynamic transport of battery packs weighing up to over three tons on workpiece carriers along the entire battery pack assembly line. Thanks to its modular design and low maintenance requirements, the roller conveyor can be set up quickly and can also be quickly adapted in the future for product adjustments or new and revised production processes.
