Industrial robot applying adhesive to a car window on an automated production line

New gluing solution enables side window installation in line-tracking mode

 

The Volkswagen Group began production of its ID.3 electric car at its plant in Zwickau at the end of 2019, marking the start of its electric mobility initiative. Preparing existing manufacturing facilities for the production of electric cars requires extensive modernization work, and this was the case at Volkswagen in Zwickau as well. The car manufacturer’s main priorities were efficiency and flexibility. For this reason, it introduced a new adhesive solution for bonding side windows at the plant in Saxony.
