As the automotive industry seeks to embrace electrification, part of the drive toward net-zero emissions targets and a future UK green economy, opportunities arise for development of sustainable and competitive UK supply chains for design, manufacture and recycling of zero-emission vehicles and their constituent components and systems. Through its innovation funding services such as the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF), the UK government seeks to support these developments through accelerating business innovation and boosting R&D investment.Realising the vision of zero-emission vehicles through electrification requires development of new Design-for-Manufacture processes and products across the UK automotive PEMD supply chain. This ATF proposal seeks to investigate an important aspect of this transformation, which currently is a gap in the UK supply chain: the feasibility of new processes for low-cost prototyping and small series production of e-motor lamination stacks.In developing new e-motor products, a critical step is testing and validating designs using small batches of prototype assemblies. These assemblies must be representative of the final product in terms of fit, form, function, and particularly performance-relevant properties, accurately representing those achieved through final production processes. This is especially the case in automotive applications where the final product may well be part of a safety-critical vehicle system. On the other hand, automotive applications are highly cost-sensitive: hence, there is a need to minimize development costs whilst still achieving the required level of developmental rigour.This project seeks to develop and test -- in conjunction with a real automotive e-motor development programme -- new processes that enable rapid, high-quality, low-cost manufacturing of prototype (or small volume production) samples of e-motor lamination stacks. The provision of the proposed new manufacturing processes will boost the UK PEMD supply chain and contribute to future sustainability -- for example by eliminating environmentally-harmful adhesives from stack assemblies and reducing manufacturing waste.The proposed partnership includes ZF Automotive, a Tier-1 supplier of automotive systems, H V Wooding, a UK provider of product design, prototyping, assembly and testing services across a range of engineering areas, including lamination stacks for e-motor assemblies, and the Metrology group of the Centre for Manufacturing and Materials Engineering at Coventry University. The partnership brings together the manufacturing process capabilities, the metrology expertise for process and product tolerance analysis, and the end-user assembly and comprehensive testing expertise required to enable the new processes to be defined and fully characterised as part of a wider automotive e-motor development programme.

随着汽车行业寻求拥抱电气化，这是实现净零排放目标和未来英国绿色经济的一部分，为零排放车辆及其组成部件和系统的设计，制造和回收提供了可持续和有竞争力的英国供应链的发展机会。通过汽车转型基金（ATF）等创新资助服务，英国政府寻求通过加速业务创新和增加研发投资来支持这些发展。通过电气化实现零排放汽车的愿景需要在英国汽车PEMD供应链中开发新的设计制造流程和产品。ATF的这份提案旨在研究这一转型的一个重要方面，这是目前英国供应链中的一个缺口：低成本原型和小批量生产电动机叠片的新工艺的可行性。在开发新的电动机产品时，关键的一步是使用小批量原型组件测试和验证设计。这些组件必须在配合、形式、功能以及特别是性能相关特性方面代表最终产品，准确地代表通过最终生产过程实现的那些特性。在汽车应用中尤其如此，其中最终产品很可能是安全关键车辆系统的一部分。另一方面，汽车应用对成本高度敏感：因此，有必要最大限度地降低开发成本，同时仍然达到所需的开发严格性水平。该项目旨在开发和测试-与真实的汽车电动机开发计划相结合-新工艺，使快速，高质量，低成本制造电动机叠层的原型（或小批量生产）样品。拟议的新制造工艺的提供将促进英国PEMD供应链的发展，并有助于未来的可持续发展-例如，通过消除电池组组件中对环境有害的粘合剂，减少制造浪费。拟议的合作伙伴包括ZF Automotive，一级汽车系统供应商，H V Wooding，英国产品设计，原型设计，在一系列工程领域提供装配和测试服务，包括电动机组件的层压堆栈，以及考文垂大学制造和材料工程中心的计量组。该合作伙伴关系汇集了制造工艺能力，工艺和产品公差分析的计量专业知识，以及最终用户装配和全面测试专业知识，使新工艺能够作为更广泛的汽车电动机开发计划的一部分进行定义和充分表征。
