Over the last century, the automotive industry has seen an enormous growth in the use of compressed air in the manufacturing assembly line. Compressed air became an integral part of the automotive industry as they ensure safety of the workers and improved overall efficiency of the manufacturing plant. Given the present time of technological developments it is inconceivable to picture an automobile industry without an air compressor. Pneumatic tools are light in weight compared to electric tools which makes it the preferred choice of garage operators. Pneumatic tools help to power the machines that lift, transport, position and fasten the vehicle’s components. ELGi's compressed air technology designed for automotive industry comes with the value proposition that bring to play in high efficiency, low maintenance cost, environmentally friendly products, and cost comparative solutions.

When it comes to sizing an air compressor for automotive application it is vital to understand the demand of each specific application and then deduce the model of the air compressor to be purchased. ELGi offers a wide range of screw compressors articulated principally for automotive industry thus ensuring best in class reliability and ease to use with trouble-free operation.

Using Air Compressors for Automotive Industry

The numerous technological advancements introduced in the automotive manufacturing industry have given rise to fresh uses of compressed air.

Varied applications of compressed air technology in automotive industry includes:

Plasma cutting – As the compressed air is forced into the chamber containing a plasma electrode and a plasma cutting tip, an electric arc is struck between the Plasma Electrode and Plasma Cutting tip. This arc "Plasma rises" the compressed air, making it electrically conductive, which then escapes the pressurised chamber via a small hole in the Plasma Cutting tip, taking the energy of the arc with it. The heat of the Plasma Arc melts the metal to be cut, while the force of the air blows it away. ELGi’s screw air compressor comes with 6 years warranty on the airend, thus promising durability of the compressor.
Air operated robots – With the advancement in the field of robotics, almost all of the strenuous work earlier done by a human is now carried out by air operated robots. The reason they are called air operated is the abundant use of pneumatic pistons on the arms of these robots. From picking heavy weights to tightening nuts and bolts everything can be performed by the air operated bots. Screw air compressors offered by ELGi are perfectly suited to operate these machines in the automotive manufacturing industry.
Tyre Inflation – Upon close observation at any gas station, an air compressor can be spotted. The air compressor used at gas stations fulfils the basic requirement of any car- air in the tyres. Compressors make the task of tyre inflation easy, and will help maintain safety and reliability of your automobile.
Automobile Finishing – One of the most important steps of auto manufacturing is automotive finishing. The paint and clear coat serve as protective coatings to shield the vehicle from the elements. Improper automobile finishing leads to formation of thin films, dry spay, crater, bubble and ripples which further leads to weakening of the paint and the automobile becomes vulnerable to rust and decay.
Air Tools - Most of the garages are shifting to air tools powered by compressed air due to their increased efficiency from the traditional electric powered tools. One of the major advantages of using pneumatic tools over electric tools is the light weight and lower operating cost.
