Leoni continues expansion focus with robot-related contract for car company

Leoni Wins Volkswagen Contract for EV Robot Cable Systems

Leoni, a global leader in automotive cable and energy solutions, has secured a major contract with Volkswagen. Through this project, the Leoni LSH 3 robot cable Volkswagen solution will equip 1,300 production robots to support electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing.

Leoni LSH 3 Robot Cable Volkswagen Deployment in Zwickau

Leoni has already installed its system in 100 robots at Volkswagen’s Zwickau production site. This facility plays a key role in the company’s electric mobility strategy.

The LSH 3 system supplies power for several processes, including welding, handling, laser bonding, clinching, and adhesive bonding. As a result, it enables efficient and flexible EV production.

In addition, Leoni installs floor cable harnesses that connect robot control units to stationary tools. This setup ensures consistent power and data transmission.

Scalable Production for Volkswagen’s MEB Platform

Volkswagen will produce several electric vehicle models in Zwickau over the next two years. All models will use the MEB platform, designed specifically for electric mobility.

Moreover, Volkswagen will dedicate the Zwickau facility بالكامل to EV production. This shift highlights the company’s commitment to sustainable transportation.

Engineered for Demanding Robotics Environments

Industrial robots must withstand constant motion, high acceleration, and mechanical stress. They also face exposure to heat, oil, chemicals, and welding residue.

Leoni designed the LSH 3 dresspack to handle these conditions. It delivers strong mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

Flexible Design Improves Efficiency

The LSH 3 system features a compact and flexible design. It reduces the risk of collisions and allows precise cable routing along the robot arm.

Additionally, Leoni uses durable materials and proven components to extend product life. The company also provides preventive maintenance, repairs, and system upgrades to support long-term performance.
