Thanks to many years of experience with automation applications and the ability of combining complex technologies from a single source, Alpine Metal Tech was awarded the contract by the automotive supplier Alu Menziken Euromotive GmbH to automate a leak testing line for battery trays. The two automation cells have been in operation since the beginning of the year and show another application area of the new Advanced Technology business field.

The constantly increasing demand in e-mobility makes it essential to automate production. Using an innovative automation solution from Alpine Metal Tech, the housing tops are fully automatically milled into shape, deburred, washed, leak-tested, tension mats and mica mats are applied and then visually inspected by a camera system.

Robot automations from Alpine Metal Tech GmbH cover the latest customer requirements and offer a variety of advantages:

  • Flexible configuration of a wide variety of measuring and processing machines, robot designs and gripper systems
  • Perfectly suited for a chaotic production flow
  • Data Matrix Code reading systems enable continuous tracking of individual parts
  • One-stop laser-based measurement units for the geometric control of components 
  • Part recognition and position determination using Alpine Metal Tech vision systems
  • Choice of common robot manufacturers possible (Kuka, ABB, FANUC, Stäubli etc.)
  • Fast spindle acceleration of Alpine Metal Tech processing machines enables short cycle times
  • Individual safety concept
  • Integration of machines from third-party suppliers via common interface standards possible (Profibus, Profinet etc.) 
  • Complete project management (mechanical engineering, programming, assembly, commissioning)
