Scroll-free turning optimizes rotor shafts production
The increased demand for electric vehicles is also leading to higher production capacities. This raises the question of how this production can be optimized to be as efficient as possible. A core element is certainly the electric motor itself. For its main component, i.e. the rotor shaft with laminated core, EMAG has developed a highly efficient machining procedure that offers virtually unrivaled speed and quality. For quite a while now, some projects have implemented overturning instead of grinding in the production of rotor shaft laminated cores. More... |
