Hairpin Winding Solutions for R&D to High Volume Lines

Odawara offers multiple hairpin winding machine solutions for all customer needs, from R&D scale machines to high-volume manufacturing lines. Complexity in the stator design can be managed by utilizing different coil forming, alignment, and insertion processes.

Insulation paper is formed to U, S, or B shape per stator design and inserted to each slot. Hairpin coils are formed and enamel is removed mechanically or by laser. Coils are aligned per customer winding pattern and inserted simultaneously. Coils are twisted using Odawara’s proprietary technology, allowing for minimal end turn heights. Coil ends are welded per customer requirements using laser or TIG welding technologies.

Odawara offers fully automated and semi-automated systems. Modular technologies are used that allow for scalability and flexibility.

Additional capabilities can be included per customer requests including:

  • Laser part etching
  • In line part inspection
  • Electrical testing

Typical Ranges

Stator OD 160 – 300 mm
Stator ID 100 – 250 mm
Stator Height 35 – 200 mm
Number of Slots Any
Number of Layers 2 – 10
Wire Dimensions Up to 6.5 x 4.5 mm

These are typical product sizes. The capability of the machines to manufacture each stator depends on a number of factors including end turn dimensions, winding pattern, bus bar design, etc. Please contact an Odawara sales representative with your unique requirements.
