Electrical design in industry

As part of an international project to develop an automated system for assembling fuel cells, we provided electrical design services and technical support during the installation work.

The aim of the equipment was high-precision assembly of individual components with integrated inspection of dimensions, micro-defects and cleanliness, which is crucial for electromobility applications. The system was designed with an emphasis on flexibility, safety and reliability to meet the demanding requirements of development environments.

Our role included preparing the complete electrical design documentation in EPLAN (2D and 3D designs), including the design of electrical switchboards, drive systems, safety components and the integration of peripheral devices. The designs complied with the applicable technical standards, in particular EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061. We also delivered the PLC configuration on the TwinCAT 3 platform, together with the basic structure of the control software. The delivery included setting up the drives, configuring the servo amplifiers and implementing the safety logic with TwinSAFE.

The collaboration also included coordinating and technically supporting the installation team during installation of the equipment on site in Germany, including resolving technical questions and checking compliance with the project documentation.

The electrical design and installation support we delivered contributed significantly to the smooth integration and commissioning of the system. Thanks to precise design and high-quality technical execution, the result is a reliable and safe system that meets the high standards for fuel cell assembly in e-mobility research and development.
