The further development of production technology is a major challenge for electromobility. The industry's development work is being actively supported by research, including by the Chair of Factory Automation and Production Systems (FAPS) at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Deciding on a printing material in additive manufacturing has become much easier. Whereas previously only one plastic could be printed, 2-component 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities.

The new centering unit from Norelem is designed for the exact alignment and fixing of components. It consists of a cone with vulcanized precision balls and a bushing. The special design of the system enables a repeat accuracy of less than 0.003 millimeters.

Lasers are extremely versatile tools in industry and manufacturing technology. Their flexibility makes them a key technology for implementing the goals of Industry 4.0. Although laser cutting and welding are now considered turnkey technologies, there is still a considerable need for research and development in the majority of laser applications, e.g. joining hybrid material pairings, 3D printing or ultrashort pulse processing.
With the DCBS chain hoist, Demag is presenting a compact hoist that makes assembly and joining processes easier and safer with its intelligent control system.

The "ezzFLOW" is used when sensitive products need to be handled, assembled or joined in a precise position. The handling system should adapt to the user and their activity and be intuitive to operate, promises the manufacturer Best Handling Technology.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, Kuka secured a major order for the planning and delivery of a fully automated battery pack line in the double-digit million euro range.

Kuka is supplying an international automotive supplier with a fully automated system for the production of battery packs for electromobility.
