Case Study: EV Battery PACK Handling with an Industrial Manipulator

HB Torque's application portfolio includes new-energy battery PACK transfer and battery PACK handling installations in automotive production. These applications focus on assisting operators with the lifting, transfer and positioning of battery assemblies within production workstations.

Application overview

The HB Torque application catalog documents battery PACK transfer in automotive assembly and battery PACK handling in automotive-parts production. Each handling system is configured around the actual PACK geometry, pickup points, workstation layout and required movement path.

The handling challenge

Battery PACK handling can require controlled lifting, transfer and positioning while maintaining operator access around the workpiece. Load capacity, gripping method, reach and motion requirements need to be selected from the actual PACK and station data rather than from a generic handling specification.

Solution approach

For this type of project, HB Torque can configure an industrial manipulator and custom end-effector around the battery PACK and production process. The handling architecture is selected according to the required load, reach, installation conditions and movement requirements.

Engineering inputs for system selection

For application review, provide the PACK weight, dimensions, pickup points, lifting height, working radius, required rotation or tilt, workstation layout and workpiece photos or drawings. Center-of-gravity information is also useful when available.
