AIDA's Independently Developed Peripheral Equipment

Product Launch of a Dedicated and Fully Integrated High-Speed Press Line for Forming EV Vehicle Drive Motor Cores

AIDA ENGINEERING, LTD. (President and Representative Director: Kimikazu Aida; hereafter referred to as 'AIDA') has independently developed the peripheral equipment required to produce EV drive motor cores using its high-speed precision presses.

As a result, AIDA is not only able to supply a press by itself, it can also supply a high-speed precision press line as a fully integrated system. A summary is provided below.

※The press shown here is a test model

• Development Background

Demand for high-speed precision presses continues to increase along with the increasing production of drive motor cores essential for the electrification of vehicles. Up to the present, AIDA has only been supplying high-speed precision presses and then procuring and incorporating 3rd-party peripheral equipment. However, the manufacturing leadtimes and service terms for the various peripheral equipment differ by manufacturer, and many customers have been asking for integrated all-AIDA systems.

In order to improve customer service and achieve industry-leadinghigh-performance systems, we have developed a complete set of peripheral equipment, ranging from the uncoiler and S-loop equipment at the head of the press line to the feeder (push-pull type), core rotating equipment, and scrap cutter (for material skeletons). The small motor we have incorporated in our feeder leverages the high-torque servo motor technologies that AIDA developed in-house for its presses to deliver powerful material feeding capabilities.

Going forward, we will leverage AIDA's global network to enable turn-key solutions for entire high- speed precision press lines, and we will also be able to provide optimal service support for motor core production both within Japan and overseas.

• Product Overview (For a Press Line Running 600 mm-Width Material)

[Uncoiler "ADU-5-600E"] + [S-Loop Equipment "ASV-600"]

1. Industry-LeadingS-Loop Coil Line (Max. Feed Speed: 130 m/min.)
2. Quick-StartFeature That Eliminates Automatic Acceleration (Startup Time: 0.2 sec.)
3. Compact Line Length (Approx. 15% Shorter Than a Double-Uncoiler Line)
4. Auto-Threadingis Standard (Reduces Coil Insertion Setup Times)

[High-Speed Feeder "ADF-600"]

1. Industry-LeadingFeeder (Max. Feed Speed: 130 m/min.)
2. Equipped with AIDA's Independently Developed Small Water-Cooler Servo Motor for Feeder Applications
3. Creation of a Synchronization System for the Push-Pull Feeder (The Feeder Model Number Denotes the Material Width, and the Feed Roll Width is Even Wider)
   ・A model accommodating 450 mm width material is also available.

[Servo Drive Scrap Cutter "ASC-600"]

1. A compact design with a lower overall height achieved by leveraging the features of the press.
   ・A model accommodating 450 mm width material is also available.

[Core Rotator "ARM-30"; "ARM-45"

1. It is possible to have a 'shared operation panel' for the feeder and core rotator. (Simple operability made possible by single-sourcing.)
   ・Available in two types--30 kW and 45 kW.
