Ready to Meet the Emerging Demand

With the ballooning demand for electric vehicles comes an accelerating demand for automated production of these vehicles and their batteries. FANUC is the company most automotive companies turn to for the best in automated production. We have a strong and proven track record in this industry and leading the way in the electric vehicle market.

Whether dealing with flat or cylindrical batteries, FANUC automation excels in various tasks needed for both battery cell production and battery pack assembly. This includes essential processes like assembly, dispensing, screw driving, and the necessary applications for the modular assembly of electric vehicle batteries, particularly in the production of lithium-ion battery packs.

Moreover, FANUC's expertise extends beyond battery production to include the precision machining of electric vehicle parts using our vast range of advanced products.

MEET THE EMERGING DEMAND FOR AUTOMATED ELECTRIC VEHICLE PRODUCTION EV ebook, Duration: 4:11min

The Right Automation Solution for Every EV Application

The FANUC SR-3iA robot is picking and placing batteries.

Battery Cell Production

The battery cell production requires a clean and dry environment, as water inside the cell leads to strong quality losses and to a safety risk. Discover our good range of robots suitable to carry out both assembly applications in a clean and dry environment and those typical of the battery formation phase. Furthermore FANUC offers machining solutions for all needed components.
