New Roller-Hemming Process Ideal for Lightweight-, Electric-Vehicle Manufacturing

摘要

Italian industrial-automation provider Comau has introduced a new robotic roller-hemming process, targeting lightweight-and electric-vehicle manufacturing. The Smart Hemmer, a compact, symmetrical roller hemmer that reportedly can hem any complex joint, is ideal for the new generation of these vehicles, according to company officials, as it allows automakers to join dissimilar materials using a cold process that grants complete control throughout the process.
