Automation of assembly lines for electric cars
The Services business unit operates as a highly specialized industrial service provider. As a recognized partner to the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and other branches of industry, we take on a wide range of tasks in the life cycle of a production plant - from planning and project planning to the assembly of machines and the construction of turnkey plants to commissioning and condition-based maintenance.
The competencies of HÖRMANN Intralogistics Services include the entire necessary range of services:
- Mechanical design including steel construction
- Pneumatics and hydraulics
- Comprehensive electrical distribution design
- Digital networking
- Programming of robots
- Visualization
With an experienced team of skilled workers and specialists, HÖRMANN Intralogistics Services also takes responsibility for the installation of new production facilities, right through to commissioning and support during production start-up. One special project was the planning, installation and commissioning of the entire media installation in the assembly plant of an OEM: In order to reduce the high costs for the development of electric cars suitable for mass production, the customer developed the modular e-drive system (MEB) as a new technology platform.
Highly automated and digitally networked production facilities are also needed to enable cost-effective production of steering components in high volumes.
We provided the customer with intensive support for the entire media supply for compressed air, cooling water, and lubricants in the form of oil and grease, and assumed responsibility from project planning to procurement to commissioning, including shift support during the start of series production.
Some data - 51 robot grippers, 633 cylinders, 550 individual valves, 800 meters of media supply and cable duct ¬ were installed on an area of around 1,600 square meters. After twelve months, the plant was successfully commissioned.
