After years of deep cultivation, STEP has gradually demonstrated a profound "technical flow" style in the lithium battery industry, quickly switching from "rhythm running" to "accelerating running", standing out in the high-growth lithium battery intelligent manufacturing market, where does the confidence come from? Wang Gangzhi, Vice President of STEP, revealed the answer to the question at the forum of the 2022 High-tech Lithium Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Summit.

 

On the afternoon of June 16, 2022, at Changzhou Jintan Maoshan International Conference Center, Wang Gangzhi, Vice President of STEP, delivered a keynote speech entitled "High Efficiency and Intelligent Manufacturing, Helping the TWh Era", and introduced it to more than 500 industry partners. Introduced STEP 's core technology and product line layout in the lithium battery industry, and shared practical experience and customer cases.

 

With the rapid growth of both the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets, the demand for power batteries has increased significantly, which will usher in the TWh era. In this context, the leading lithium battery companies have driven the surge of production expansion in the entire industry. In order to mass-produce high-efficiency and high-quality batteries, intelligent manufacturing is increasingly favored by the market.

 

As the world's leading service provider of intelligent manufacturing overall solutions, STEP aims at the production links such as "production engineering, core making engineering, chemical composition, module assembly, PACK line" for power battery processing, as well as downstream body-in-white welding lines. , forming a set of intelligent manufacturing solutions for the whole industry chain.

 

Vice President Wang Gangzhi said that STEP integrated motion control, robotics, and intelligent manufacturing, and jointly launched a lithium battery industry chain intelligent manufacturing solution, which has made great progress in the lithium battery and new energy vehicle industries. Create value:

 

SC series PAC supports MES access, and its self-developed tension algorithm has been applied in the lithium battery industry;

 

· The Ω6 series servo driver has functions such as high-speed probes, and is a new generation of "imported, surpassing imported" products;

 

·STEP robot products have a load of 3kg-600kg, a total of 45 models, which have been widely recognized in terms of localization rate, technical level and market verification.

 

It is worth mentioning that, when foreign brands of robots are out of stock this year, the delivery time of STEP SCARA and six-axis robots has remained stable at 30 days, helping the lithium battery industry to achieve production capacity. Vice President Wang Gangzhi introduced the reasons for the rapid delivery of STEP. The STEP Robot Super Factory in Shanghai is one of the first 20 smart factories in Shanghai. In 2021, it will be awarded the title of "National Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Factory" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The factory uses advanced automation, digitalization and intelligent means. , In terms of technical support, production capacity control, quality control, etc., it is worthy of customer trust. The plant has been in operation since it was put into operation in 2020, and with the plant in Shenzhen, the annual production capacity of 20,000 units is ready. At the same time, STEP has a scattered layout in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Kunshan and other places, which is convenient to deal with the uncertainty of the domestic epidemic that year and maintain a good delivery capacity. In the face of the global chip shortage, STEP is in the process of actively promoting the localization of chips while increasing the inventory.

 

Vice President Wang Gangzhi emphasized that STEP 's service guarantee system is complete, providing 7*24 consulting, zero-stop spare parts, training, on-site operation and maintenance, upgrade services, full-cycle maintenance and other services to help lithium battery companies jointly cope with the rapid expansion of production capacity. thorny problem.

 

Vice President Wang Gangzhi shared the application of STEP’s robots in the visual capture and feeding of energy storage battery cells, high-speed and high-precision lamination machines, etc., and focused on STEP Xiaoao's 30-year body-in-white system integration experience . "We have cooperated with Geely, BYD, Great Wall, Human Express and other car companies for many years, and have delivered a number of body-in-white welding production lines. Now that lithium battery body integration has become a trend, Xinshi Daxiao is willing to play in the body-in-white and chassis for many years. The technology precipitation, grow together with new energy vehicle companies, and achieve zero technical risk delivery."

 

Note: The full name of TWh is TeraWatt Hour(s), which means: 100 million kilowatt hours.
