COMAU has collaborated with the FCA and Fiat to produce the New500. The latest robotic technology solution and the technical knowledge of modern industrial processes have contributed to the development of the first 100% electric FCA vehicle, made in Turin, Italy.
This project initiated with the launch of a new production line for electric models at FCA’s historic Mirafiori factory, integrating theCOMAUrobots for the first time.
The company has deployed 187 COMAUrobots in different stations within the automotive production plant. The work of expert collaborators such as designers, engineers, and manufacturers optimized the workflow system.
Read on to learn more about this iconic collaboration and how it’s enhancing the efficiency of the Mirafiori factory!
Conforming to a distinctive body design system while embracing electric vehicle technology.
COMAU Robots—A Brief Introduction
COMAUrobots incorporate custom handling systems for electric vehicles, and they use a fine designed 3D-printed gripper for anti-drop material handling.COMAU has evolved the assembly line processes designed for the development of the structural parts of the New 500. This robot utilized electrical energy for assembling and welding front, rear, and side parts of a car.
Comau has equipped each robot with a comprehensive set of equipment that can effectively perform all the special processes required for electric vehicles, from custom-designed handling systems and accessories to special 3D printed end effectors for moving car parts.
The Design Process
Comau incorporates the production line with advanced vision systems to control the quality of the adhesive dispensing system during application and final touching stages.It also plays a vital part in the final design assembly robot line.
The robot enhances the productivity and speed of assembly line processes from joining body structure to the painting stages.
Turin—FCA’s First Electric Car
The company has designed and implemented a production line dedicated to the structural components of FCA’s first pure electric car, Turin.COMAU has collaborated with the FCA and Fiat brands to redesign the bodywork and accommodate the iconic vehicle’s battery and transmission.The robot is equipped with a processing system designed for electric vehicles, including special 3D-printed grippers.
The robotic technology ensures flexible and precise applications required by the clients, enabling the company to meet and exceed customers’ needs.
