Innovative applications of palletised wire bodies in automotive manufacturing and lithium cell production

Why do automotive assembly plants have frequent downtime? Insufficient flexibility of the pallet line body is the cause of the problem
The traditional automotive production line uses a fixed conveyor line, once a section of the failure of the entire line paralysis. The new generation of AGV pallet system through the double rudder wheel drive and magnetic peg positioning technology (accuracy ± 5mm), to achieve a single fault seconds to switch the backup unit to reduce downtime losses.Over 120 hours/year. After the introduction of AGV system in a car company, the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) of the assembly workshop has increased from 76% to 89%, and each production line saves labour cost.About $2 million/year--The secret is:

  • Freedom to switch modes: Continuous conveyor and stepper operation adjusted on demand, compatible with workers' assembly rhythms
  • Dual-insurance design: Magnetic stripe navigation against oil interference + 2D code positioning redundancy (supports 75mm no code tape gap)
  • Dynamic expansion: Adapting to order fluctuations by increasing or decreasing the number of AGVs and shortening the cycle time for line modifications.60%

Li-ion battery tray frequently shaking crooked affect welding? Self-locking pawl + anti-shaking sensor to break the game.
Li-ion battery module welding requires a position error of ≤0.5mm, but traditional cylinder clamping is easy to loosen in vibration. Shanghai Pertronix Electric's innovative solution is solved by double locking:

  1. Gear-Pawl Mechanical Locks: Four-way rotating jaws driven by transmission gears, telescopic pawls automatically jamming the gears to prevent kickback.
  2. Vibration Compensation System: Meiji's PTV infrared sensor extends the angle of emission and improves resistance to displacement deviation.3 times
    Actual data: a battery factory after the application of welding defective rate from 5.7% down to 0.8%, reducing rework costs per yearOver $8 million

Temperature fluctuations cause battery yields to plummet? Self-heating restraint tray achieves ±1°C precision temperature control
Lithium battery liquid injection link temperature difference of more than 2 ℃ will trigger the risk of lithium precipitation. Shenzhen Jingshi electromechanical patent tray with three-layer technology to break the problem:

  • Dynamic pressure regulation of air lines: Real-time monitoring of cell expansion and automatic adjustment of constraint force (pressure sensor sensitivity up to 0.1N)
  • Embedded heating filmCarbon nano-coating in the sandwich layer of the tray to conduct heat uniformly, the temperature difference is controlled within ±1℃.
  • Modular disassembly: Individual replacement of damaged units, reduced maintenance costs40%(vs. traditional total obsolescence)
    Case: An energy storage battery factory applied the liquid injection yield increased by 11.3%, equivalent to the annual increase in revenue of a single line.120 million

The future is here: how pallet liners can become the central nerve of smart factories
In Dongguan ZEHONG lithium factory, the tray has transcended the role of transport carrier - receiving tray built-in RFID chip, real-time upload electrode sheet attitude data to the MES system; when the AI predicts that the stacking angle of inclination > 5 °, automatically triggered by the baffle protection. This "transport+monitoring+decision-making" trinity model is promoting the evolution of the pallet line from an execution tool to a production line intelligent brain.

personal insight
The difference in demand for palletised wire bodies between automotive and lithium is essentiallyPrecision, Flexibility, IntelligenceThe golden triangle game. Vehicle companies pursue heavy-duty long reach (4000kg class multiplier chain), lithium focuses on micron-level anti-shake - but the future winner lies in theCross-scene technology integration: The magnetic peg positioning of AGV, if transplanted to the battery tray, can solve the misreading of the code scanning; the pawl design of the automotive heavy-duty mechanism can strengthen the stability of the battery clamping. When the industry breaks the technical silos, the pallet line body will become a super lever for manufacturing cost reduction and efficiency.
