We were able to implement an end-of-line inverter test bench for our customer. The inverters (front axle and rear axle) for an electric vehicle are tested and then packaged. The following tests are carried out:
In this project, component transportation was implemented using a transfer system. Alternatively, it would also have been possible to set up the entire test bench as a robot cell. Individual stations, such as the function test, can also be duplicated to cover a higher production volume.
The sophisticated energy recovery of our system not only optimizes the operating costs of the test bench, but also increases energy efficiency. This helps to minimize the total cost of ownership while ensuring sustainable and cost-efficient operation.
As experienced experts with over 20 years of industry knowledge in the control of complex assembly lines and test benches in the automotive sector, we are your reliable partner. Our long history of success is testament to our commitment to the highest quality standards and customer care.
Our autfactory test bench control system offers you the freedom to create your own test sequences without time-consuming programming. This flexibility allows you to adapt the test stand to your individual requirements and thus increase efficiency and productivity.
With us, you have a single point of contact for all your concerns – from the design of the plant to its complete acceptance. Our comprehensive service guarantees smooth project execution and ensures that your individual requirements and goals are always in focus.
Before the actual function test begins, we subject the modules and circuit boards of the inverter to a thorough insulation test. This test is carried out either at the beginning or end of the EOL test, as required. It is crucial to ensure that the product meets the highest standards. The following attributes are checked:
Dielectric strength of the assemblies: We check whether the assemblies meet the requirements for dielectric strength.
Flashover: Each circuit board is checked for flashover in order to detect possible defects at an early stage.
Potential sources of error: Potential sources of error, such as lost screws that could inadvertently land on the circuit board during the assembly process, are detected to prevent potential consequential damage.
The functional test is the decisive step in the EOL, which serves to ensure the quality of the manufactured product. Our approach ensures that the inverter is tested under real conditions. This applies not only to the direct current source (battery), but also to the motor side. The functional test includes a multitude of precise tests to ensure that the inverter meets the highest performance requirements. Some of them are:
In our fully automatic AUTFORCE CUBE, designed in the in-line version, each inverter passes through a laser marking station. This method ensures precise and permanent labeling of each product for optimum traceability. Laser marking includes essential information that enables clear identification and detailed traceability. This includes the DMC code, the serial number and the test results of the inverter.
In the final step, the semi-automatic packaging station, the inverters undergo final treatment to ensure that they are optimally protected and prepared for safe transportation.
