Portal milling machine with four portals for processing battery boxes (high-voltage storage) in the automotive industry
Customer industry:
Large-scale production of battery boxes for high-voltage storage systems in the German automotive industry
Project specification:
The customer wants a machine for measuring (probing), milling raised weld seams and drilling battery boxes (high-voltage storage systems). Two different types of these high-voltage batteries are processed. The machine is integrated into a production line and equipped using robot technology.
Solution from SIRtec:
Manufacture of a portal milling machine in a special design. The design is carried out with four portals (one measuring portal and three processing portals) and two clamping stations (1 x top and 1 x bottom per frame type).
The positions of the module compartment bores (frame underside) are determined by the measurement portal using the best fit method. In order to adhere to the specified cycle time, the mechanical milling and drilling (frame top) is carried out parallel to the main clamping station.
Customer benefits:
The customer integrates the portal milling machine into the processing line, so that battery boxes for a German automobile manufacturer can be processed in 4-shift fully automatic operation with a technical availability of 96%.
