GROB-Werke GmbH & Co. KG creates high-volume production systems for the electric vehicle (EV) market. Based in Mindelheim, Germany, the machine tool manufacturer recently completed a sophisticated system for making hairpins, which form the stator winding rims of electric motors. The complexity of this system, which was built for a U.S.-based EV maker, illustrates the advantages of a fully integrated, optimally scalable automation system.
A globally operating family business, GROB has been developing production equipment and machine tools for automotive OEMs and their suppliers for more than 95 years. The company’s portfolio includes machining centers, production systems, manual assembly stations and fully automated assembly lines. It also includes production systems for electric motors, batteries and fuel cells.
