GROB, a US-based EV powertrain manufacturer, has incorporated dual-curing adhesives from DELO Industrial Adhesives, a German company, into their latest EV motor assembly machinery. The use of DELO’s adhesives in GROB’s new systems for rotor assembly helps to streamline the process and eliminate the need for automakers and Tier 1 suppliers to source adhesives from multiple suppliers. DELO’s dual-curing adhesives are designed to enhance the efficiency of EV motor manufacturing machinery.
GROB’s machinery for rotor assembly includes various stations and processes such as dispensing, magnet insertion, light fixation, heat curing, shaft fitting, cooling, ball bearing fitting, balancing, and magnetizing. By utilizing DELO’s dual-curing adhesives in their machinery, GROB is able to optimize the process and minimize adhesive usage. The system dispenses as little as 35 mg of product on only one side of the slot, while the high strength of the adhesive, achieved through the dual-curing process, eliminates the need for rotor stacks to be sealed during heat curing.
The rotor assembly line by GROB is designed for efficiency and effectiveness in EV motor manufacturing. Quick induction pre-heating reduces the curing time in the oven, and the compact size of the machine allows for easy integration into existing production lines. Despite minimal modifications required for integration, the machinery can be adjusted as needed to accommodate different motor specifications. This flexibility makes the setup ideal for manufacturers looking to produce a variety of motors with the same equipment.
DELO’s dual-curing adhesives, combined with GROB’s advanced machinery, offer a comprehensive solution for EV motor assembly. The use of DELOLUX curing lamps for light fixation further enhances the process by ensuring proper bonding of components. The compact size of the machinery enables processing of rotors up to 150 mm in diameter, making it suitable for a range of motor sizes. This integrated system provides a reliable and efficient method for EV motor manufacturing.
By incorporating DELO’s dual-curing adhesives into their machinery, GROB is able to offer automakers and Tier 1 suppliers a seamless solution for EV motor assembly. The technology allows for a more streamlined process, reducing the need for multiple suppliers and optimizing efficiency. With the ability to handle multiple process steps and various motor specifications, GROB’s machinery, in combination with DELO’s adhesives, is an innovative and versatile solution for the evolving EV industry. The partnership between GROB and DELO showcases the importance of collaboration in driving innovation and advancements in electric vehicle manufacturing.
