Together with Fraunhofer IPA and our KR QUANTEC, we dismantle battery systems and can thus recycle valuable components. 🚙♻️ As part of the “DeMoBat” research project, we are looking at the future of the automotive industry, in particular the challenges surrounding electric car batteries. The more electric cars are produced, the more used batteries are produced. Dismantling these batteries is essential in order to be able to recycle the individual parts. 🛠️🔋 “Dismantling batteries poses three major challenges,” explains Anwar Al Assadi, group manager at Fraunhofer IPA. “Firstly, you need specially qualified specialists, because working with high-voltage technologies requires special and often time-consuming training. Secondly, manual disassembly is associated with a health risk due to the high voltage and dangerous gases, and in the worst case, self-ignition can occur. And thirdly, dismantling by hand takes a very long time and is correspondingly cost-intensive. This often makes recycling seem unprofitable at the moment.” This is where our robot-based solution comes into its own. Our KR QUANTEC helps to reduce the shortage of skilled workers, minimize the safety risk and improve the cost-effectiveness of battery recycling. 🦾 #KUKA #KUKArobotics #automation #robots #HomeOfRobotik #emobility #recycling
Great initiative by KUKA and Fraunhofer IPA! Addressing the challenges of battery dismantling with robot-based solutions is a significant step towards safer and more efficient recycling in the automotive industry. #Innovation #Sustainability #Automation
Thanks Kuka for the application review. Great to see how robots are part of the dismantling process. Shout out to the use tool changers for flexibility.
Maybe this is just for a demo, but isn't it too slow for a robot.
which tool changer brand was used for this process/operation? thanks
a felvételi pozíciót picit korrigálnám, mert a videón jól kivehető, hogy a 6-os tengely nem fut a szerszám tengelyével! :D
Luis Hernandez Eduardo Martinez parece ser un battery, me llamo la atención el equipo que utilizan para transportarlo
Fantastic update!
Amazing 🙏
