Imagine if you could pack more copper wires into a motor without making it bigger, like tightly packing a suitcase to fit more clothes. This project created a way to wind motor coils much more densely and efficiently using robots. This means motors can be smaller, stronger, and stay cooler while using fewer raw materials.
Electric motor manufacturers struggle with low power density and high material costs. Current winding methods are inefficient, leading to heavier motors that overheat and cost more to produce.
A fully automated winding machine demonstrator (WM04) using ROS2 software and UR16.e robots to produce high-density motor coils.
If you are a premium EV manufacturer dealing with high material costs and limited power density — this project developed an automated winding technology that offers a 30% price advantage and 75% higher power density.
If you are an electric aircraft developer dealing with strict weight limits and cooling issues — this project developed a motor winding process that provides 90% higher cooling efficiency and 75% higher material efficiency.
If you are a heavy-duty vehicle OEM dealing with the need for sustainable, high-torque motors — this project developed a system with 60% higher copper density to increase overall motor performance.
The technology provides a price advantage of over 30% compared to current solutions.
Yes, the project developed a fully automated winding machine demonstrator (WM04) and targets high-volume production of over 100,000 motors per year.
Based on available project data, the technology is developed by SciMo, but specific licensing terms are not detailed in the report.
The automated winding machine demonstrator was commissioned in February 2024 and successfully produced its first fully automated coil on a stator.
It integrates as a B2B model targeting mid-series volume markets (500–1,000 units/year) and high-volume automotive sectors.
The project is led by a single German SME, SciMo, which indicates a highly concentrated technical ownership of the IP. With a 100% industry ratio and no university partners, the focus is purely on commercial application and industrialization rather than basic research.
