Lotus Speeds Up EV Charging with Gimatic's EQC Automatic Tool changer

Charging electric vehicles (EVs) requires a delicate touch. Lotus Cars faced a three-part challenge:

• Heavyweight Handling: The robotic arm needed to maneuver bulky charging guns.
• Strict Insertion Accuracy: Precise gun placement was crucial for safe and efficient charging.
• Rapid Turnaround: Quick completion of a changing of charging gun for each car, reducing the amount of time each car spends waiting to be charged.

Traditional Solutions Lag Behind: Existing options often relied on pneumatic systems, incompatible with Lotus' all-electric environment and struggling with speed and accuracy.

Gimatic's EQC The Collaborative, Electric driven, No programming required, Plug-and-Play Champion

Gimatic's innovative solution, the Gimatic Electric Quick Changer (EQC), an automatic tool changer driven by an electric motor, addressed all of Lotus' concerns:

• Effortless Integration: Gimatic EQC boasts a collaborative, plug-and-play design. It seamlessly attaches to charging guns without complex programming, allowing the JAKA cobot to handle them with ease.
• Fast and Accurate Every Time: The electric EQC facilitates swift and precise gun placement for safe and efficient charging, all without the need for intricate programming steps.
