How Audi Electric Motors Are Made for Electric Cars? (Mega Factories Video)

The Audi e-tron is a series of electric and hybrid cars shown by Audi from 2009 onwards and powered by Electric Engines. In 2012 Audi unveiled a plug-in hybrid version, the A3 Sportback e-tron, released to retail customers in Europe in August 2014, and slated for the U.S. in 2015. A decade after the unveiling of the first e-tron concept at the 2009 International Motor Show Germany, Audi's first fully electric e-tron SUV went into production in 2019.
The e-tron GT is a four-door all-electric grand tourer unveiled at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. It will be built on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan. It is fitted with an 800-volt system, which substantially reduces charging times. The vehicle is driven by two permanently excited synchronous electric motors with a combined power output of 434 kW (582 hp). A 90-kWh lithium-ion battery powers the e-tron GT's electric engines and enables it to travel up to 248.5 miles (400 km) according to the new WLTP standard.

10:36 That must be some good adhesive, I thought the drive end was just going to fall off. Unless there was another machine that put some bolts in that wasn't shown.

Glad you liked it. Which process you liked the most ?

@mrunalsonawane3363 3 жыл бұрын

@@engineeringworld. I loved the coil making process. I never knew it was a mixture of automated and hand made process. I always thought it was a fully automated process. But nice to know that there is a human touch to it. I also liked that when the adhesive is put on the engine and both the ends are put together, the adhesive is so strong that that machine can lift the engine without screwing it down.

I enjoyed it but I really wanted to see the testing when it started up for the first time. I felt like I was invested in watching it being born and then robbed of seeing it actually doing it's first run!

The manufacturing of the VW Group's electric motor is amazing. This replaces so many machining operations necessary to make an internal combustion engine. The engineering that went in to the fixturing and assembly process shown here is mind staggering. Truly this is the future!

It's funny because if I saw the motor, I would have looked at it and said wow they had someone sew a nice net over it! I would have assumed that was on of the manual tasks.

The amount of engineering and sequence planning that goes into the robotics and parts design is WAY above my 'paygrade.' But it it is interesting to watch. The precision of today's manufacturing is amazing... and encouraging. Henry Ford would proud of us later generations of humans.

This is very good. Curious - are there more steps not shown for making the rotor (center spinning part with magnets) ? Or is it in the shaft ?

Tesla figured it out; Their Fremont factory builds an entire Model 3/Y at an average of every 8 minutes; which means every process step is at least that fast. If a single step takes longer then that, they split it into separate lines that do the same thing. (For example: if the motor test takes 24 minutes, they'll have 3 lines do motor tests at the same time, so its still an average of 8 min per motor.)

It’s seems like a lot of work went into making a highly specialized solution. That’s cool I guess, it seems wasteful though. On the other hand I guess there are many uses for those motors. Can you get one without the Audi? Lol. I don’t like the product mentality I think it limits our creative power, but here’s to people getting off the butt and trying lol.

"Electric engine". That's not what we call it. We call it "traction motor".

@oceanic8424 3 жыл бұрын

The manufacturing process steps executed by the robots seem altogether too slow; it could stand to be improved. The human steps are the bottlenecks in the process, but the robotics parts can be accelerated somewhat while still maintaining the deliberate precision of actions. Improved productivity can be achieved here.

How so? Moving 10s of kilograms of objects at speed and to within a fraction of a millimetre every time takes lots of power and torque with precise sensors and control systems. But only an engineer would understand that.

Ah yes, they should’ve consulted you instead of spending millions and collaborating some of some of the best minds on the planet to develop these systems. I’m sure you’d have come up with something better.
