In the course of the electrification of the transport sector, the demand for electric motors is expected to increase sharply. However, at the end of their life cycle, these motors are discarded.
Disassembly of electric motors, however, enables recycling of materials such as copper, aluminum and stainless steel, reduces the need for new resources and the use of energy and CO2 emissions in the extraction of raw materials.
Automated machines and equipment enable faster and safer performance of these disassembly tasks. However, the large number of different engine variants and as well as possible defects, which differ in size, shape and component arrangement, can make automation difficult. Therefore, highly flexible systems are needed that can adapt to different engines and respond to defects. This exhibit presents an automation solution that uses robots with vision sensors to automatically schedule and dynamically adjust disassembly processes to respond to rusted bolts or the like.
