During the high-end electrical motor production the balancing of the motor axis is a crucial step for the quality of the end-product. Therefore a 100% testing and - if necessary - balancing of all motor axis is performed during production. The current manual workplace consists of a tedious handling of the parts into the (sensitive) test equipment, followed by a balancing process by a skilled worker for only a small share of axis. The goal of the project is an optimization of the process by parallelisation of the testing and balancing including robot technologies.

Impact (expected)
After an analysis of the current production process functionalities and system components can be identified to set up a detailed concept for a (semi-)automated system for the balancing of motor axis, with focus on the feasibility of the automated processes, potential distribution of manual and automated process parts, and cost-benefit calculations.
Thereof a cycle time reduction by > 50% of the current process time can be achieved with an invest of < 200.000€ and a process flow that relieves the worker from the current heavy handling operations in the process.
