เทคโนโลยีใหม่เพื่อการตรวจสอบการันตีการใช้งานจาก Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology ผู้บริโภคและผู้ผลิตจะมั่นใจได้อย่างไรว่าในขั้นตอนตรวจสอบชิ้นงาน ในธุรกิจรถยนต์ไฟฟ้าให้ได้คุณภาพ ถูกต้อง แม่นยำ ในยุคจากเครื่องยนต์สันดาปเป็นระบบไฟฟ้า บทความ Measurement ฉบับนี้ MEGA Tech มีคำตอบให้
With the new technology for verifying guarantee of usage from Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology, how can consumers and manufacturers have confidence that the process to verify workpieces in the electric vehicle (EV) business provides quality, accuracy and precision in this period of transition from internal combustion engines toward electric systems? In this article about measurements, MEGA Tech has the answer.
The EV market has been experiencing enormous growth in the past 10 years. This is primarily due to the perceived benefits of EV both in terms of fuel conservation and environmental-friendliness. Therefore, they have become popular and widespread, especially in Europe and China, which have today become the world’s largest EV markets. Similarly, EV sales in Thailand have been steadily increasing.
For example, the year 2021 was the first year in which an electric vehicle became the best-selling car in Europe, and this car was the Tesla Model 3. Furthermore, in 2023, Tesla reservations in Thailand will exceed 5,000 vehicles. As such, Tesla saw a marketing opportunity and has seized it and has worked to build confidence in the quality of its products, which must undergo precise testing, especially when it comes to the EV battery trays, since these are a highly important component of EVs.
Due to increased manufacturer and consumer expectations, especially in terms of long-lasting and safe battery-charging and the construction of reliable batteries that have a long lifespan, manufacturing standards have become a top-priority issue, because batteries are akin to the hearts of electric vehicles. However, because quality assurance for batteries involves a highly complex process, their verification tools have to boast both high resolution and precision.
Manufacturers and entrepreneurs, therefore, have to think about dealing with and adapting to customers’ needs in era when technology is playing an increasingly big role in life. Because consumers can perceive and understand manufacturing processes, it is necessary to establish confidence ahead of time of EVs’ market release that they have gone through multiple steps of research and development.
Accordingly, a part that we will raise as an example for testing on this occasion is the eye-catching EV battery tray, because the EV market is expanding rapidly on a global scale, and it has become an attention-grabbing trend among target groups. For manufactures, the important question to ask is how to ensure consumer confidence in safey by the use of the 3D technology of the ATOS ScanBox.
Why is the quality of 3D testing solutions important?
- Because they allow products to be developed and released into the market more quickly than ever before.
- Because they increase business profits.
- Because they provide an excellent competitive edge.
- Because they allow quality problems to be resolved immediately and can swiftly identify best solutions.
- Because they eliminate needlessly redundant processes.
- Because they speed up work without any loss to effectiveness.
- Because they cut down costs and help minimize work problems.
- Because they improve product quality.
Industry 4.0 will make machines smarter, production more effective, processes less wasteful and production lines more flexible and productive. Therefore, choosing the right technology is essential, and the automatic testing solution by Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology can enable manufacturers and entrepreneurs to receive real-time data that can be put into actual use.
The 3D optical ATOS ScanBox features the GOM Inspect Pro software for automatically scanning workpieces. It takes only a few minutes to scan and collect data about battery trays and battery units as well as test the smoothness of battery slots and welding holes.
Manufacturers and testers can assess tests related to statistical trends to specify gap width changes caused by heat-caused deformation in battery modules.
Furthermore, it can simulate the entire module assembly and internal wirings to estimate the quality of the assembly process. The analysis covers all important processes in the manufacturing of battery trays, from aluminum shaping to forging and welding, not to mention corrosion, drilling and pin installation processes.
