Robot-based assembly of stators

Temporarily there are no solutions for a flexible, automated manufacturing system for electric drives. Small and medium-sized enterprises, concentrated on small series or user-specific production, often have to decide between a cost-intensive automated and a flexible, time-consuming manual production system. This paper presents processes and technologies, developed at the E|Drive-Center at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, to assembly stators with standard industrial robots. Merged in a demonstrative production line, the manufacturing of stators will be more efficient and of higher quality.
