Over the years, the automotive industry has grown at a rapid pace and is now recognized as one of the industries with a high level of automation. In the process of automobile manufacturing, processes such as stamping, welding, and painting have been basically automated by industrial robots instead of manpower, while other tasks with relatively complex processes and flexible processes are still indispensable for human support. With the change of the development trend of the manufacturing industry, more and more manufacturers are facing the pressure of automation upgrading and improving flexibility. As a result, collaborative robots have risen to the occasion and become a booster on the road to enterprise automation upgrading.
Since the development of collaborative robot technology, one of the most widely used scenarios is the auto parts industry, and more and more automobile OEMs have begun to deploy collaborative robot production lines for handling, assembly, screw locking, testing, gluing, etc. Unlike traditional industrial robots, which need to be equipped with safety fences, collaborative robots can realize the sharing of man-machine operating space, and the rich interfaces and easy-to-use programming experience make this production tool flexible, lightweight, safe and easy to program in the process of use.
Today, we will combine practical application cases to show you the automation solutions of Elite collaborative robots in the automotive industry, without further ado, let's walk into the workshop to feel the power of Elite collaborative robots——
Automotive applications – tightening
The tightening work is boring and boring, and there are still some workshop production lines that use workers to tighten with tightening guns, and use collaborative robots to free workers to engage in more challenging work.
Elite cobots are used for central control screen tightening
Elite cobots are used for engine bolt tightening
Elite cobots are used for automotive PCB tightening
Automotive applications – testing
Testing is the top priority, and improving the yield rate is a top priority. The use of collaborative robots can better integrate equipment into the production line and become a bright part of production line automation.
Automotive applications – loading and unloading
The waiting time of loading and unloading workers is the cost, and the key to reducing costs is to let the collaborative robot replace the manual loading and unloading, and the cost can be recovered in 8-12 months!

Automotive applications – grinding
The harsh grinding sound and complex working environment all indicate that this work is no longer suitable for manual completion, so leave it to collaborative robots, force control sensors and vision!

Automotive applications – gluing
The colloid generally has a pungent odor and is corrosive, and long-term gluing work is indeed not conducive to the health of workers, and secondly, manual gluing is easy to cause uneven distribution of primer liquid, and cause waste, resulting in unstable gluing quality. The use of industrial robots for automation transformation is bound to have a greater impact on the existing layout products and increase the difficulty of deployment. The use of modularly programmed cobots for gluing can avoid the above problems, greatly shorten the programming time, and ensure the quality of gluing without changing the layout of the existing production line.
Elite cobots are used to glue automotive battery covers
In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology, the disappearance of the demographic dividend, the recurrence of the epidemic, the promulgation of the power rationing policy and other factors, so that more and more enterprises have embarked on the road of automation upgrading, but the tight space of factory layout, the low level of workers' mechanical operation and the control of costs all restrict the development of enterprises. Elite advises clients to use a gradual automation model to achieve technical and commercial risk control, step by step.
In the future, Elite will continue to deepen the field of intelligent manufacturing, provide innovative and competitive solutions, products and services for more customers in more fields, and aim to help users of all sizes and industries accelerate automation upgrades and flexible manufacturing.
