Abstract

AbstractAs a consequence of the increasing market share of hybrid and all-electric mobility solutions, there is a need for robust manufacturing technologies that enable the efficient production of powerful electric traction motors in automotive industry. In the context of high-quality distributed stator windings, the so-called hairpin technology already meets the automotive demand regarding productivity – but process reliability is still limited by variations in the mechanical and geometric properties of the enameled rectangular copper wire leading to different springback effects within the forming processes. Against this background, a model-based closed-loop process control for the sequential tool-bound bending of hairpin coils is introduced and validated in this paper.
