The partners will develop a winding machine for aluminium wires. The winding machine will be developed and provide the first UK supply chain solution for manufacturing aluminium coils. Coil winding is a critical component of eMachine manufacture and is not provided by any UK manufacturer. UK based companies of eMachines have to purchase winding machines from overseas suppliers or have wound coils shipped to them.The partners well placed to provide guidance on the work and how to exploit the results of the project. Two of the partners, Ashwoods and Voltalogic, provide copper coil designs that will be redesigned to use aluminium wire. Hydro will provide coated aluminium wire with the preferred electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. Aspire will build their work on winding machines to provide a volume manufacturing solution. WMG will leverage their development work on volume e-Machine manufacture to guide the partners to the provision of a volume manufacturing solution.The advantages of aluminium coils are lower cost and lower weight compared with copper. The major disadvantage is the higher resistance, which decreases the efficiency of the e-Machine at low speeds. With the drive to higher speed e-Machines this disadvantage is becoming lower. The designs developed by Ashwoods and Voltalogic will target designs optimised for use with aluminium windings. The flexibility of material properties allowed by Hydro material development will provide a wider set of winding solutions.The successful completion of the project will provide a UK supply chain for the manufacture of e-Machine coil winding. Through this, it will enhance the UK's competitiveness to deliver e-Machine manufacturing technology. It will embed the design and manufacturing expertise for coil winding into the UK supply chain.The project will develop the reduction in weight of e-Machines by 15% without compromising performance by developing manufacturing processes for winding coils from alternative material.The project will deliver, for the first time, to the off-highway market a single source drive systems incorporating advanced IPM motor technology, radically lighter BUT equally as efficient as current IPM technology. The consortium partners are Ashwoods Electric Motors, Aspire Engineering, Voltalogic, WMG and Hydro. The technology and manufacturing capability will be developed by Ashwoods, Voltalogic and Aspire.WMG will validate the coil windings whilst Ashwoods will integrate this new technology into their products for benchmark testing. Ashwoods will exploit the outputs of this project through their own existing high-volume OEM relationships by the end of 2020

合作伙伴将开发一种用于铝线的绕线机。该绕线机将被开发，并为制造铝线圈提供第一个英国供应链解决方案。线圈绕组是eMachine制造的关键部件，没有任何英国制造商提供。eMachines的英国公司必须从海外供应商购买绕线机或将绕线线圈运送给他们。合作伙伴能够很好地提供工作指导以及如何利用项目成果。其中两个合作伙伴，Ashwoods和Voltalogic，提供铜线圈设计，将重新设计使用铝线。海德鲁将提供具有优选导电性和机械性能的涂层铝线。Aspire将在绕线机上开展工作，以提供批量制造解决方案。WMG将利用他们在批量电子设备制造方面的开发工作，指导合作伙伴提供批量制造解决方案。与铜相比，铝线圈的优势是成本低，重量轻。主要缺点是较高的阻力，这会降低电机在低速时的效率。随着对更高速度的电机的驱动，这种缺点变得更低。Ashwoods和Voltalogic开发的设计将针对与铝绕组一起使用的优化设计。海德鲁材料开发所允许的材料特性的灵活性将提供更广泛的绕组解决方案。该项目的成功完成将为电机线圈绕组的制造提供英国供应链。通过这一点，它将提高英国的竞争力，提供电子机械制造技术。该项目将把线圈绕线的设计和制造专业知识嵌入英国供应链。该项目将通过开发替代材料绕线线圈的制造工艺，在不影响性能的情况下，将电动机的重量减轻15%。该项目将首次向非公路市场提供采用先进IPM电机技术的单源驱动系统，比目前的IPM技术更轻，但同样高效。该财团的合作伙伴是Ashwoods Electric Motors，Aspire Engineering，Voltalogic，WMG和Hydro。技术和制造能力将由Ashwoods、Voltalogic和Aspire开发。WMG将验证线圈绕组，而Ashwoods将把这项新技术集成到他们的产品中进行基准测试。Ashwoods将在2020年底前通过其现有的大批量OEM关系利用该项目的产出
