_{Main Highlights}

Challenges

_{• Support for batteries of various specifications with the shortest changeover time.}

   _{• Machines equipped with external delta robots in cleanrooms have a large footprint.}

Solutions

• Utilize wireless IO-Link technology to achieve wireless control of vacuum pumps and valves on conveyors, reducing complex physical cabling and enhancing the flexibility and adjustability of equipment layout.

• Through wireless IO-Link, each TigoHub can support multiple actuators and sensors, enabling a single mobile station to independently and precisely complete complex tasks, thereby optimizing machine operational efficiency and flexibility.

• Allows for wireless control of dozens of moving devices on a single machine, solving potential interference issues between traditional equipment, ensuring stability and reliability of operations.

(Wireless control of vacuum pumps and valves on each transport machine ensures that battery plates do not fly off the transport machine or get damaged during high-speed operation.)

Benefits Brought

• Through these efficient, compact layouts and wireless control solutions, the production capacity per square meter has tripled, significantly enhancing production efficiency.

• The production line can accommodate batteries of various sizes, streamlining the sorting process and automatically ejecting damaged sheets, ensuring product quality while achieving multi-functionality with a single machine.

• Reduced cleanroom area requirements lead to corresponding energy consumption cuts, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
