As the core powertrain of new energy vehicles, the "Three-Electric" system (battery, motor, and electronic control unit) has a manufacturing quality that directly impacts the vehicle's safety, reliability, and performance. This solution focuses on the in-depth application of stationary blue-light 3D scanners for dimensional inspection of these components. It covers key areas such as battery trays, individual cells, battery packs, battery modules, and hairpin stators, providing a high-precision, efficient, and traceable quality control solution for the manufacturing of new energy vehicles and their components.
Challenges in Testing the "Three Core Systems" of New Energy Vehicles
The "three core systems" (battery, motor, and electronic control systems) constitute the most critical subsystem of a new energy vehicle. They demand rigorous manufacturing precision, and the associated testing requirements are characterized by the following features:
Limitations of Traditional Inspection Methods
Traditional inspection methods for the "three electrics" (battery, motor, and electronic control systems) primarily rely on Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), vision measuring instruments, and dedicated inspection fixtures, presenting the following limitations:
Low inspection efficiency: Long cycle times per unit make it difficult to meet high-volume production pacing.
Incomplete data coverage: Point-to-point measurement fails to capture comprehensive surface topography information.
High reliance on fixtures: Dedicated inspection fixtures entail high costs, lack flexibility, and require long lead times for model changeovers.
Weak data analysis: There is a lack of capability for statistical process control based on full-scale data.
Insufficient traceability: It is difficult to establish a complete chain of quality data.
