A robotic electric vehicle (EV) charger named "Ziggy," developed by EV Charge Safe, is set to undergo testing at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) over the next few months. This trial is part of a pilot initiative aimed at exploring innovative charging solutions for electric vehicles.
The robot charger operates autonomously, moving to vehicles that require charging and returning to a designated area for recharging itself. Additionally, it can serve as a mobile billboard for advertising purposes, providing a potential revenue stream.
According to a recent press release from DFW, mobile robotic charging will be showcased during five public demonstrations at the airport's parking lots between May and August. These events will also highlight other technologies, including apps for on-demand charging. However, no specific timeline has been provided for integrating these innovations into routine airport operations.
One of the key advantages of mobile charging robots, as highlighted by EV Charge Safe, is their ability to transform any parking space into a functional EV charging station. This flexibility could alleviate challenges faced by EV drivers, such as blocked charging spots due to traditional combustion engine vehicles ("ICEing").
In a separate announcement, EV Charge Safe mentioned that the city of Barcelona recognized Ziggy as the winner of a pilot project competition focused on EV charging solutions. The company also markets conventional Level 2 AC and DC fast chargers for commercial use.
Other companies are also exploring robotic charging concepts. For instance, automotive supplier Continental has designed a charging robot that physically connects to the vehicle. Meanwhile, Stellantis is collaborating with EFI Automotive on a wireless charging robot, which was showcased alongside Ram's electric pickup truck concept earlier this year. However, details regarding its integration with future production models remain unclear.
This emerging technology represents a significant step forward in addressing the growing demand for efficient and accessible EV charging options. As airports like DFW continue to experiment with innovative solutions, the future of urban mobility appears increasingly promising.

The CNC quenching system is a highly automated heat treatment equipment that utilizes computer numerical control (CNC) technology to accurately manage the temperature, time, and cooling rate during the quenching process, in order to change the microstructure of metal materials and enhance their hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance. This system is widely used in fields such as mechanical manufacturing, automotive, aviation, and tool steel, and is crucial for improving product performance.
working principle
Numerical control quenching systems usually use induction heating or bath quenching for heating. Induction heating generates eddy currents through electromagnetic induction, rapidly heating metal workpieces above the critical temperature, and then immediately immersing them in quenching media (such as oil, water, or salt solution) for rapid cooling. Bath quenching is the process of preheating the workpiece to a certain temperature and then immersing it in a low-temperature medium for hardening.
system composition
Heating unit: induction coil or heating bath.
Cooling unit: quenching medium and circulating pumping system.
Numerical Control System: Control parameters such as heating temperature and cooling rate.
Workpiece loading and transport mechanism: Ensure precise positioning and movement of the workpiece.
Security protection: monitoring and emergency shutdown mechanism.
Key advantages
Precise control: Setting the quenching path and parameters through software programming, with good repeatability.
Improving quality: uniform hardening, reducing the risk of deformation and cracking.
Energy saving and efficient: fast heating and cooling, saving energy.
Flexible production: adaptable to different specifications and batch sizes.
Automated operations: reduce manual intervention and improve productivity.
Application Cases

Technology Trends
With the development of intelligent manufacturing, CNC quenching systems are integrating more advanced technologies, such as machine learning algorithms to optimize quenching processes, sensors to monitor material properties in real-time, and personalized customization. At the same time, we will develop efficient cooling media and improve quenching trajectory planning to further enhance quenching quality and reduce costs. In the future, highly integrated one-stop quenching production lines will become the mainstream of the industry, bringing revolutionary changes to metal processing.
