Control Units

ASSEMBLY SOLUTIONS FOR SMART MOBILITY

Assembly lines and test systems for
electronic control units

Control Units (ECU) combine a variety of safety and comfort functions and are used in a wide scope of mobility applications. Starting with engine and transmission control units, safety-relevant systems such as ABS and ESP, as well as the control of semi-autonomous driving operations, these units are used in most sensitive environments.

As foundation of the automotive electronics, the highest requirements in assembly and testing must be realized. In all key processes of automation, XENON offers extensively tested technology modules.

XENON competencies for control units:

  • Development know-how for core technologies
  • Micro-Strain-Test (Strain-Measurement)
  • ESD-compatible manufacturing plants
  • AOI of complex assemblies
  • Integration of EOL test systems in a temperature-controlled environment
  • Integration of external systems
  • Assumption of responsibility as general contractor

      Modular Concept

      A mechatronic system containing all functions necessary for operation. A modular, fully integrated linear motor with power electronics and displacement measurement in one device. A mover as the moved part. A mechanical guide rail. The most diverse applications can be realised with these few coordinated components. The desired geometries, lengths and radii are formed by the number and choice of the components

      Key Benefits

      •  Controlled movement at all times and all places on the transport path. No jerks and no unnecessarily large forces; high positioning accuracy at up to 4 m/s. Even open liquids can be transported
      • Dynamic buffer. The transported material can be accumulated and grouped during the movement.
      • Synchronisation, stopping and starting can be accomplished at any of the stations on the entire path
      • Maximum use of the machine volume. Outward and return path as well as the curves can actively transport material
      • The movers of the XTS system can always run with the flow of product. No return trip or return stroke is necessary. A change of format can be accomplished when changing product without stopping production, just by means of a software setting
      • Low mechanical wear since only the mover requires mechanical bearings. There is no need for: gears, belts, guide rollers and clamps
      • Reduced energy consumption due to lower friction and possible regenerative braking (the brake energy from one transported material can accelerate another)
      • High positioning accuracy reduces the expenditure. The compensation of inaccuracies as required in common transport solutions is not necessary: stretching of chains due to load and wear, re-tensioning of toothed belts, mechanical backlash during a load change
