Hairpin Machines FMU E
Universal production system for hairpins, stator connection assemblies and and axial flux coils
Powerful Solutions for Electric Drives
Hairpins are bent parts made of insulated, enameled copper wire. They are used in the modern electric motors found in electric cars, hybrid vehicles, and e-bikes, where they replace the wound inductor coils that are part of conventional stators. Hairpin motors improve the power-to-weight ratio due to the packing density of the profile material.
WAFIOS offers state-of-the-art bending technology for producing hairpins, covering everything from small batches up to high volumes.
Machine comparison FMU E:
- Unique machine concept for producing hairpins and stator connection assemblies, and for expanding the FMU series in the field of e-mobility
- Bending process simulation opens up new possibilities, especially with regard to feasibility or collision monitoring
- Patented hairpin tool system combines active rotary-draw bending with the agility of conventional wire bending tools, prevents the material from slipping, and increases the quality of complicated geometries
- Newly developed feed unit prevents deformations in the profiled material and – together with the patented tool system – enables positioning of end legs
- WPS 3.2 EasyWay programming system offers easy, geometric programming and a clearly arranged overview of the materials and tools used
- The FMU E series can be complemented by insulation stripping, burr-optimized cutting and chamfering modules.
