Flexible Cable Handling for Mass Production of Electrolyzers

The “FertiRob” research project developed an automated solution for wiring the control cabinets of electrolyzers. Two robots equipped with GEP2000 small-part grippers handle the gripping, guiding, and insertion of flexible cables into the terminals. Through force control, precise positioning, and easy integration via IO-Link, a previously manual and demanding process is now reliably automated. The application thus supports more efficient and scalable mass production of electrolysers.
