Innovative winding technology for highest production quality
For more than 70 years, the ELMOTEC STATOMAT brand has stood for innovative solutions in the field of winding technology. Together with our customers in the industrial and automotive sectors, we develop individual solutions of highest quality and reliability.
Winding technology is the central technology in electric motor production. With our know-how, we enable our customers in the industrial and automotive sectors to produce electric motors that meet the highest requirements in terms of quality and performance.
Our ambition is to be the technology leader in the development of winding technologies and the manufacturing of production machines for stator production.
At Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT, however, we understand winding technology to be more than just offering the right machine for winding coils. We want to be the preferred technology partner for our customers. By this we mean a special consideration of each application. We carefully check each request for feasibility and support our customers in further optimizing their motor design. Subsequently, we develop an individually suitable manufacturing solution together with our customers. Our portfolio ranges from Stand-alone machines to fully automated production lines.
Together with our customers and partners, we aim to continuously improve and develop winding technology. A particularly successful example is our flat wire wave winding. The adaptation of a proven winding technique to the use of flat wire enables a significant increase in the filling ratio and thus an increase in efficiency. This technology is particularly suitable for applications in the field of alternators and traction drives. By evenly winding a continuous mat, we were able to develop and patent a process that combines the process advantages of round wire wave winding with the high mechanical filling level of a flat wire.
At Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT, we are convinced that the consistent further development of winding technology will play a significant role in increasing the efficiency of electric motors and thus make a positive contribution to sustainable production technologies.
“Machines from ELMOTEC STATOMAT stand for precision, efficiency and quality. Our company faces new challenges every day to further optimize winding technology for the production of stators for a wide range of applications.”
Thomas Burst, Managing Director Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT
Round wire winding technology
The proven round wire winding technology is suitable for a very wide range of stator types. With many years of experience in the field of the most diverse winding technologies, from linear winders to insertion technology. Together with our customers, we find exactly the best solution that ensures economical and reliable production.
Our patented winding technologies in the field of round wire and flat wire technology ensure the competitive advantage of our customers.
Only by highest precision and process control it is possible to wind up to 30 parallel wires without crossing and to assemble them without damage.
Our machines are designed for maximum durability. Our machines reliably produce copper coils of the highest quality. And that over several product generations.
With the innovative flat wire winding technology, coils for stators can be wound with the highest possible fill factors. This technology is used above all where maximum performance with minimum weight is crucial. The first series applications in the field of traction motors for electric vehicles show that new benchmarks in efficiency can be achieved with flat wire winding technology.
The combination of innovative linear winding technology and the use of flat wires enables motor designs with peak values in the area of power density.
“Innovation in winding technology is the foundation of our long-term corporate success. We are particularly proud that we were able to realize the first line of its kind with the final automation of the flat wire wave winding technology. This line helps our customer produce one of the most efficient electric drives on the market and set impressive benchmarks.”
