KUKA ANNOUNCES MAJOR ORDER FOR WELDING ROBOTS FOR EVS

The German industrial robot and automation expert Kuka is building welding
robots for the production of EVs for an automotive customer in the double-digit
million euro range. The robotics specialist is supplying the robots, including
the cells in which the welding process will take place.

According to Kuka, the unnamed customer from the automotive industry has ordered
a total of 23 cells with integrated robots. According to the Augsburg-based
company, this is the largest single order in this area to date. The cells are
so-called FSW cells (FSW stands for Friction Stir Welding), which contain KR
FORTEC robots and other components and are integrated as a whole into production
lines for electric vehicles.

According to Kuka, the cells are used in several production steps in the
production lines: “The robots in the cells weld battery trays together and join
cooling plates to the battery trays in a second production step. KUKA is also
responsible for the entire friction stir welding process.” As the name suggests,
battery trays are there to house the batteries. To do this, they must be
leak-proof and resilient, support the correct temperature of the batteries and,
in the event of an accident, prevent the vehicle occupants from being endangered
by the battery. Their seams are specially welded.

In friction stir welding or FSW welding, a rotating, pin-like tool is guided
between the contact surfaces of the component, according to Kuka. The frictional
heat plasticises the material and the parts are joined together. In this way,
even difficult-to-weld or dissimilar materials such as aluminium can be welded
to magnesium, copper or steel, Kuka wrote. Additionally, “This process consumes
less energy and material; shielding gas or flux cored wire is not required as in
conventional processes.”
