In December 2024, Zhongke Motong (Changzhou) Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. announced a strategic cooperation with Leapmotor for the mass production line of electric drive controllers.The two parties will formally initiate in-depth cooperation around this project, jointly promoting technological progress and industrial upgrading in the field of electric drive controllers, and injecting new momentum into the vigorous development of the new energy vehicle industry.

Leapmotor, officially known as Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., Ltd., was co-founded by Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. and its founders, and has been committed to the field of intelligent and self-innovative pure electric vehicles since 2015.Adhering to the vision of "zero emissions, zero collisions, and zero congestion," Leapmotor focuses on cutting-edge technologies, independently developing three major vehicle platforms, the "three-electric" systems, intelligent networking, and autonomous driving core technologies. In 2024, its sales momentum was unstoppable, exceeding the annual target and firmly ranking among the top new energy vehicle brands, with a broad future development prospect.

In the context of global energy structure transformation and increasing environmental awareness, the new energy vehicle industry is entering an unprecedented stage of prosperity.As the heart of new energy vehicles, the electric drive controller is of great significance.It not only bears the important task of monitoring and optimizing key performance aspects such as energy utilization, drive systems, and charging systems but also directly affects the vehicle's safety, reliability, and level of intelligence, marking the progress of new energy vehicle technology.

Zhongke Motong - Actual Case of Electric Drive Controller Mass Production Line

Zhongke Motong and Leapmotor join hands to conduct in-depth cooperation in the field of electric drive controllers for new energy vehicles,leveraging their respective strengths to jointly explore and develop a mass production line for electric drive controllers that combines high efficiency and intelligence.

• The production line includes the following core equipment: IGBT pressing, plasma cleaning for adhesive application, automatic tightening, safety testing, power harness testing, EOL testing, programming & water-blowing, leak testing, breather valve pressing, and final appearance inspection.

• IGBT Pressing Equipment: High-end servo presses are used for pressing, with pressure and displacement monitoring. After pressing, 3D intelligent vision inspection is employed to check the quality of the pressed pins, ensuring that each IGBT module meets nearly perfect consistency standards.

• EOL Testing Equipment: The testing uses standard water and electricity connection modules, with automatic connection by the equipment. Leak detection is installed at the water pipe connection to ensure timely alarms for any coolant leakage during the testing process.

• Adhesive Application and Plasma Cleaning: The equipment performs plasma cleaning on the adhesive surface. After application, 3D intelligent vision inspection checks the width, height, and trajectory of the adhesive, ensuring the quality of the adhesive application.

• Production line cycle: 60 seconds per piece, with an automation rate of 89%, and OEE above 85%. The line is highly flexible, compatible with multiple product types. Equipment and tooling use modular changeover, and robot stations employ quick-change plates for automatic tooling switching. Changeover includes product type recognition and error-proofing, with programs and software switchable at the touch of a button. The entire line uses QR codes bound to pallets for traceability, ensuring that production data is queryable.

In recent years, the rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle market and the acceleration of technological iteration have brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to the field of electric drive controllers.On one hand, the surge in market demand has necessitated higher standards for the performance, quality, and production efficiency of electric drive controllers. On the other hand, continuous technological innovation and industrial upgrading, like a strong driving force, constantly inject new vitality into the field of electric drive controllers. Against this backdrop, the field of electric drive controllers for new energy vehicles stands at a new starting point full of opportunities and challenges, leading the entire new energy vehicle industry to a higher level.

In the future, Zhongke Motong and Leapmotor will enter a new era of in-depth cooperation, jointly committed to the successful implementation and efficient execution of the electric drive controller mass production line project.Both parties will fully leverage their respective strengths in technological research and development, exquisite manufacturing skills, and extensive market promotion channels. This strategic cooperation will undoubtedly open a new chapter in the intelligent manufacturing of new energy vehicles, writing a brilliant chapter of win-win cooperation.
