Since EV manufacturing is a relatively new industry, experienced assemblers are few and far between. Error-proofing technology is therefore critical to ensure quality and safety.
Threaded fasteners are the most common method of product assembly. The primary advantage of threaded fasteners is that they permit disassembly of the parts for repair or recycling.
The need to extend the range of electric vehicles is pushing automakers to adopt higher battery voltages. Most passenger EVs are powered by a 400-volt battery pack, while electric buses and trucks are powered by 600-volt battery packs.
All manufacturers face the task of finding an ergonomic assembly tool with torque control; minimal torque reaction; low operational costs; and improved uptime.
