Battery modules for electric vehicles (EV) need to be interconnected and other electrical components assembled. Multiple tasks in the process increase the level of complexity and in addition, live battery components require special safety procedures, equipment, and tools.
Flexible modular solution for quality insurance
Addressing the challenges of electrical component assembly requires battery tools with an integrated controller. A precise assembly process is achieved while isolated sockets tighten the connection between the individual modules. Wireless bolt level positioning secures the correct tightening on the right bolt, and process control software guides the operator clearly and increases battery quality.
The integrated solution offers flexible wireless freedom and reduces the cost of operator training and, in the end, the risk of energy-consuming rework.
Increase operators' safety: isolated sockets and insulated tool covers
QA Platform 4.0 for smart connected quality
As with so many stages in the EV battery assembly process, there is no room for error when assembling the electrical components. The Atlas Copco QA Platform 4.0 is a flexible modular solution for quality assurance. The tool, joint, visual, and dimensional checks performed by this single platform reduces the need for multiple quality devices. Compliant with quality standards the QA Platform 4.0 optimizes operational costs by reducing defects, reworks, and product recalls.
Operator safety is prioritized throughout the electrical component assembly process. The International Standard IEC 60900 applies to insulated, insulating, and hybrid hand tools used for working live or close to live parts at nominal voltages up to 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC. The introduction of Isolated sockets, Quick Change Adapter, and insulating Tool Covers improve operator safety, all in accordance with IEC 60900.
