Detailed explanation of core functions and values

Automatic loading and assembly function

The robot automatically grabs the PTC shell, heating core, sealing gasket, and high-voltage wire harness, performs precise servo press-fitting, multi-axis intelligent torque tightening, automatically distinguishes the torque thresholds of bolts of different specifications, and eliminates missing, false, and over-tightening. High-definition industrial camera visual inspection identifies shell scratches, sealing gasket dislocation, damaged wire harness, terminal skew, and other appearance defects. Defective products are automatically diverted and isolated to intercept the outflow of defective products in advance.

Visual appearance defect detection function

High-definition industrial camera visual inspection can identify appearance defects such as casing scratches, gasket dislocation, wire harness damage, terminal skew, etc. Defective products can be automatically diverted and isolated to intercept the outflow of defective products in advance.

High-voltage power-on aging and electronic control testing

Simulate the VCU signal of the vehicle, issue control instructions through the CAN bus, conduct a 40-minute temperature rise and aging test, and monitor heating power, current, and temperature control protection logic in real time to verify the stability of PTC operation under high and low temperature conditions; simultaneously complete safety testing for voltage resistance, insulation, and leakage current to eliminate high-voltage safety hazards.

Air tightness leak detection function

Dry vacuum leak detection is used to detect leaks in the shell seal pipeline. The micro-leak detection accuracy is ≤1×10⁻⁴ mbar·L/s. No water inspection is required to avoid corrosion of residual water vapor inside the product.

Digital production control function

Real-time dashboard displays production capacity, yield, and equipment failures; MES docking enables work order issuance, material batch binding, root cause analysis of defective products, equipment utilization statistics, and supports management to remotely view production line operation data.

Commercial value: The manufacturing cost of a single piece is reduced by 35%, the defective rate of products is reduced to less than 0.3%, the production capacity is increased by 2 times, and the annual batch delivery demand of 100,000 units can be met by the main engine factory. The equipment investment cost of the complete production line can be recovered within 3 years.
