With 25 years of experience working with EV, hybrid, and PHEV motors, we design and engineer motor winding solutions that maximize efficiency.
Rev Up Manufacturing with Automated Winding Equipment
Automotive manufacturers are feeling the need for speed. Quick and accurate assembly is critical to achieving the high volumes needed to compete in this industry.
Furthermore, automobile electrification continues to increase the need for traction motors like BLDC in EV, hybrid, and PHEV vehicles, which offer longer life and lower energy consumption. Odawara’s 25 years of experience in automated motor winding equipment for the automotive industry means we can advise you on best design practices for manufacturing high volume with speed and maximum efficiency.

Benefits of Winding Automation for the Automotive Industry
Increased Production
Faster winding machines increase the speed of task completion with minimal oversight needed from workers.
Better Efficiency
Speed is money in the auto industry. Our engineered winding solutions provide the uptime and efficiency required to compete.
Lower Costs
Reduced labor reliance and more throughput allow you to scale operations while lowering costs.
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%.
