Kai Wei detailed Comau’s latest achievements in electric drive solutions for new energy vehicles and flat wire motor assembly technology. He said that Comau’s leading research and development, proofing, mass production and modification capabilities enable manufacturers of electric vehicles and motors worldwide to provide customized solutions that help customers bring new products to market quickly and significantly improve the efficiency and flexibility of production lines and equipment.

In the field of electric drive technology, Comau has developed a rich spectrum of technologies and continues to innovate in motor assembly. In particular, the flat wire motor stator assembly equipment, Comau has covered its overall process, and independently developed including automatic line forming, automatic inserting, flaring, torsion, cutting, laser welding and other processes, fully ensure flexible and intelligent production. In order to meet the needs of high efficiency, high flexibility and high precision of core equipment, Comau innovates the traditional stator product production mode, solves the problems such as low manufacturing efficiency, high labor cost, lack of flexibility, and difficult to guarantee product quality, ensures that flat wire standard products reduce customer production costs while maintaining high quality, and supports the collinear production of various types of products. With high compatibility and flexibility, to meet the needs of customer products in the future upgrade. In addition, Comau has carried out lean planning on the layout of flat line fixed production lines, reducing the entire line time to increase production capacity. The modular design makes the overall layout more compact, optimizes the floor space, reduces the overall energy consumption of the production line, and meets the various needs of customers.

PXLE-6544 With more than 50 years of automotive powertrain assembly expertise and experience, Comau is able to flexibly respond to market and customer needs in the rapidly evolving global automotive electrification process, offering comprehensive solutions from single components to complete systems for a variety of technical routes such as hybrid, pure electricity and hydrogen energy.

In addition, Comau also demonstrated the wearable exoskeleton MATE-XB at the venue to provide a fitting experience for guests. It provides lower back support for operators in bending, lifting and repetitive work, reducing muscle pressure, not only reflects Comau’s deep understanding of wearable robot technology, but also provides a new perspective on the sustainable development of workplaces such as manufacturing. MATE-XB’s lightweight carbon fiber construction and intuitive adjustment system make it easy to wear and quickly adjust, making it suitable for almost all body types.
