Mercedes Sprinter

Project

Integration of the eSprinter into the existing pre-assembly of major components and marriage

Project start: March 2022
Project end: December 2024

About the project

The Sprinter combustion engine product line has been extended to include an electric vehicle variant. The task was to integrate the new variant into the line so that both the combustion engine and electric versions of the Sprinter can continue to be built on the same assembly line. The existing infrastructure was retained and the necessary plant components added.

Hinter den Kulissen: 

Leistungen

The following sub-areas were expanded for the integration:

  • Mechanism frame: To place the product parts on the existing mechanism frame, new holders had to be created in the area of the battery (centre tunnel) and rear axle. The result was a mixable frame that can be used for both combustion engines and battery-powered vehicles.

  • Marriage Beat 1: A camera system was integrated to check whether product parts have been placed correctly or whether folding positions on the mech frame have been executed correctly.

  • Marriage Beat 3: Two robots were integrated into the existing assembly beat, which take over the bolting of the battery and rear axle on the eSprinter, as well as bolting points on the combustion engine.

  • The conveyor system was overloaded because the eSprinter also brings higher weights onto the line.

  • Additional screwdriving technology has been integrated into the individual stations – extension of control technology.
