With an automated winding solution customized for your aerospace manufacturing needs, you can speed up manufacturing, improve product quality and consistency and increase ROI.
Improve Quality and Safety with an Automated Winding Solution
The aerospace industry faces a critical challenge: how do you fill the demand for new aircraft and replacement subsystems while meeting safety and quality standards despite labor turnover?
Introducing automation to parts of your manufacturing process can help solve these challenges by improving quality and productivity while reducing human errors and reliance on skilled labor.
Many face the challenge of introducing automation into the manufacturing of electric motors, actuators and generators. Transitioning from manual winding to machine winding often necessitates changes in design certification. That is where Odawara can help.
Our Motor Winding Capabilities Include
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM) services to support the transition to machine winding
- Custom-engineered winding solutions that fit your physical space and weight needs
- Error-proofing sensors to eliminate loading or part handling mistakes
- Process monitoring and testing
- Connectivity to Manufacturing Execution Systems
Electric Motor Winding for Aerospace Applications
Our automated motor winding equipment is an excellent fit for aerospace manufacturers who make:
- Actuators (flap, stabilizers)
- Generators
- Fuel pumps
- Water/coolant pumps
- Lift motors
- Drone motors
- Hydraulic pumps
- Direct drive motors
- Rudder controls
Benefits of Winding Automation in the Aerospace Industry
Reduced Labor Costs and Reliance
The skilled labor gap shows no signs of slowing down. Reducing reliance on human labor and training new employees speeds up task completion and saves money.
Better Quality
Automation can significantly reduce errors and in turn, wasted materials. This can bring your cost per part down and improve consistency.
Improved Worker safety
Automating parts of your motor manufacturing process allows human workers to focus on oversight rather than repetitive physical tasks that can result in injury.
More Throughput
When parts of your manufacturing process run themselves, you can increase overall production and reduce downtime.
Why Odawara Automation?
What makes Odawara unique is our personalized approach. We do not offer catalog items that force manufacturers to select a machine that may not accommodate their needs. Instead, our engineers review your product drawings and manufacturing process. This allows us to offer a machine or system that truly meets your needs. It is not uncommon for us to offer additional suggestions to reduce the cost of tooling and long-term manufacturing.
3X Faster
A large motor manufacturer turned to us to engineer a single needle winding design into a three needle design. Our resulting winding process was close to 3X faster and reduced the post wind termination process by 50%.
30% Reduction
A motor manufacturer partnered with us to engineer an automatic robotic wire placement after winding. Our solution reduced the manufacturer’s labor contact on the system by 30%.
