Efficient Machining of Stator Housings for E‑Mobility
Newly-developed, patented process for efficient simultaneous machining of stator housings (inner housing) for E‑Mobility
- Semi-finishing up to 8 times faster
- Efficiency increase of up to 100 % compared to conventional turning process
- Compact Machine Mounting due to Vertical Machining
Innovation
Innovation
- Serial production solution for efficient ID and OD machining of pot-shaped stator housings by means of a simultaneous turning process
- Substitution of separate OD turning processes (roughing) by an integrated process of ID and OD machining
- Significant reduction in machining time
- Increase in economic efficiency

Workpiece


- Pot-shaped stator housings of e‑mobility with inner and outer contour
- High requirements for form and position tolerances
- Fit tolerances IT6
- Cylinder shapes between 20 and 30 µm
- High requirements for concentricity up to 0.05mm
Process Setup
- Multi-spindle turning center with tool turret
- Vertical test setup
Expansion stages for serial production:
- Integration of further machining units through modular design
- Automatic loading and unloading of workpieces via pick-up
- Integration of in-process measuring equipment

Simultaneously Semi-Finish-Machining
- Use of special internal boring tools and self-developed external bell tools, which enable machining of the inner and outer contour in parallel
- Vibration-damped machining on the thin-walled workpiece through simultaneous operation of the inner and outer tools
- Simultaneous rotary movement of workpiece and inner tool with stationary outer tool
- Up to 8 times faster machining for the internal and external roughing processes due to simultaneous machining and higher number of cutting edges (4‑fold cutting edges)
- Lower torque on the clamping device due to counter-rotating cutting forces of internal and external machining (compared to single internal machining)
- Automated parts handling (pick-up)
- Reduced re-clamping processes
