Pack  40 Series Cylindrical Module Pack

High-Flexibility Modular Assembly Line

 

The high-flexibility module Pack production line of UW Laser adopts an innovative modular design concept. Through a refined process layout, the Pack assembly process is divided into multiple specialized workstations, including cell sorting, Block grouping, stacking, glue application, curing, leakage testing, and welding.

 

This modular design allows Pack products with different process requirements to flexibly select the corresponding modules for efficient assembly. It enables co-line production, meets diverse product needs, and greatly enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

 

Core Technological Advantages

 

High Flexibility: The production line employs advanced functional module design, with modules connected through AGVs or conveyor sysytems. Each module can operate independently or collaborate with other modules. The system intelligently selects functional modules, allowing products to autonomously choose production paths based on system planning. It ensures high flexibility and product adaptability in the production process, while reducing customers' investment costs and space requirements.

 

High Efficiency: The cell sorting module uses efficient turret sorting technology, with a single machine sorting efficiency exceeding 150 PPM. This enhances the overall efficiency of the production line and improves equipment utilization rates, ensuring  continuity and stability in production. The welding workstation is equipped with laser scanner welding technology, which further boosts production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs.
