Assembly lines for charging technology

AKE technologies offers a wide range of assembly systems for the production of charging technology in the field of e-mobility.

The product portfolio includes production lines for charging sockets, connector systems, charging stations, and much more.
In the field of high-voltage technology, careful assembly and subsequent testing of the components are crucial. Furthermore, the highest cleanliness requirements must be met, and system components must ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) resistant .
