Fully Automated DC Fast Charging Pile Manufacturing Line
This automatic automated production line of DC charging piles provides a high-quality production system for high power DC fast charging units (50 kW – 350 kW+). The DC charging pile automatic production line is equipped with smart robotic devices that automatically place components, connect wire harnesses and manage cables, and automatically perform various multi-stage quality control tests. Manufacturers can use the into produce their product at rates that have never been attainable and with a quality that contains no defects, thus allowing for quick production ramp up for the booming electric vehicle infrastructure around the world.
This system has automated screw-driving and automated cable routing, as well as insulation resistance testing (megger) and end-of-line functional testing (communication protocol validation, verification of output voltage/current, and safety testing). All critical assembly/testing parameters are stored for full traceability to the unit’s serial number. The lines support multiple charger form factors (wall-mounted, floor-mounted, dual-gun), and can also integrate with your MES to allow you to monitor your production in real time. Production rates typically range from 20-40 units per shift based on the power rating of the charger and the complexity of the charger.

What is a DC Charging Pile Automatic Production Line?
An automatic production line for a DC electric car charging pile consists of an assembly line that can manage all of the major operations required to manufacture DC fast charging stations (EV charging stations). This line automates these major processes including preparation of the housing enclosures, installation of power modules, assembly of control boards, mounting of cables and connectors, and final inspections for insulation testing as well as functional testing of the finished products. Robotic arms are used throughout the line to perform heavy lifts, drive screws with vision systems, route cables and terminate/crimp connectors, and test for functionality (ground continuity, insulation resistance, output voltage/current accuracy, protocols such as CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T) at in-line test stations. The line is intended to provide medium/high-volume production of standardised EV charging stations while ensuring a consistent product quality, full traceability of each individual charging station produced, and compliance with safety standards (such as IEC61851-23 – the international standard for DC electric vehicle charging stations).
Heavy-duty robots for power module, PDU, and control board placement.
Precise routing, clamping, and torque-controlled terminal tightening.
Insulation resistance (megger), continuity, hi-pot, and functional load test.
Simulated EVSE handshake (CCS/CHAdeMO/GB/T) and output verification.

Core Technical Advantages
Heavy-duty robotic handling
Robots with high payload capacity (up to 50kg) handle power modules, PDUs, and magnetic components, reducing operator injury risk and increasing placement accuracy.
Automated high-voltage cable processing
Integrated cutting, stripping, and crimping stations for 35mm² – 95mm² DC cables ensure consistent terminal quality and reduce manual crimping errors.
In-line insulation & safety testing
100% automated megger and hi-pot testing before final assembly detects isolation faults early, preventing unsafe chargers from reaching the market.
Communication protocol simulation
End-of-line test station simulates an electric vehicle (EV) to verify CCS, CHAdeMO, or GB/T handshake, measuring output voltage, current, and control pilot signals.
Customer Success Story
To achieve the production rates they required, a well-known EV charging manufacturer in Europe sought assistance scaling their production of their 5-30kw dual-gun DC chargers on a full production basis. By implementing our fully automated production line for DC charging piles, they were able to achieve:
The investment in the line paid off in 14 months’ time and allowed the company to land a significant contract with a utility in Europe. Complete traceability of data met the requirements for an IEC 61851-23 audit.
