Innovative processes and systems for the automated manufacture, assembly and test of magnetic components for electric motors

摘要

Recent developments regarding the design of electric motors have set new requirements on the corresponding production processes. On the one hand, the manufacture of complex new bobbin geometries requires innovative winding technologies. On the other hand, the increasing number of permanent excited motors has to be taken into account through the development of highly efficient automation processes for magnet assembly. This paper presents alternative approaches for the automation of difficult assembly processes regarding these issues developed at the Institute for Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems (FAPS) at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
