Battery tray assembly at the BMW Group plant in Regensburg

SAR and its partner company Aumann built the battery tray assembly systems at the BMW Group plant in Regensburg.

SAR programmed 15 controllers and 68 robots to ensure the smooth assembly of the battery tray for the new, all-electric iX1.
This is a multi-type system in which battery trays are assembled for both hybrid and all-electric vehicles.
In the first half of the official BMW video, you can first see the fully automatic module assembly, followed by the wiring at numerous manual stations and the airtight sealing of the trays.
The tubs are moved between the production stations on 105 swivel-mounted transport vehicles over a total of 990 meters.
The tested tray is then transferred to a transport container and stacked in trucks.
In the video, this is still done by forklift truck, but SAR has now fully automated this process.
Accordingly, the trucks are unloaded and destacked fully automatically at the production plant for the iX1, 3.6 km away.
The empty containers are returned to the tub assembly area in the same way.
