Automotive and Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Technology
The automotive manufacturing process is more complex than ever, and traditional automobile manufacturers as well as emerging electric vehicle (EV) OEMs can find major manufacturing optimization with the right solutions. Innovative solutions using PAR’s advanced technologies can help manufacturers improve production flexibility and efficiency.
At PAR, we leverage our innovative technology to design custom solutions tailored, which meet the needs of each automotive manufacturer. We offer several capabilities that can improve manufacturing automation, but two of our patented technologies offer key advantages that address critical challenges within the automotive industry: friction stir welding and anti-sway technologies.
Highlighted Capabilities for EV and Automotive
Friction Stir Welding with I-STIR™ Systems
Friction stir welding (FSW) is an advanced joining process that uses frictional heat to join materials. This weld method offers several advantages for both gas and EV production using aluminum or other lightweight alloys including:
- Superior mechanical properties
- Minimal distortion
- Improved safety
- Reduced weight
EV battery trays are an ideal application, but it is also a great choice for tailor-welded blanks, bumper beams, rear spoilers, suspension links, and ally wheels.
Anti-Sway Crane Motion Controls
Inexperienced crane operators, or simply difficult crane controls, can present a danger in automotive manufacturing. Accidents involving large automobile components or bodies can negatively impact production and workplace safety.
PAR’s patented anti-sway control technologies dramatically reduces sway and improves safety. This technology is standard option on all of Par’s cranes and can be implemented on other manufacturers’ cranes as well. Powered by predictive algorithms, anti-sway controls adapt in real time to reduce sway and give any operator an expert-level performance. Anti-sway controls result in 85-95% sway reduction and up to 40% cycle time improvement.
Our capabilities are many, our experience is deep.
