For Electric Motor Manufacturing
OVERVIEW
University & Automotive Collaboration
Springfield NE was approached by a leading automotive supplier seeking a specialist engineering partner capable of delivering both advanced tooling and a high-performance press system with full-cycle monitoring and data recording capabilities. The project demanded exceptional precision, robust performance, and seamless integration into a live production environment.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
- Design and manufacture of a bespoke press system capable of applying 167kN of force
- Integrated monitoring and recording of force, distance, and pressing-cycle data
- Development of interchangeable tooling with an ultra-precise 20μ clearance per side
- Full turnkey project management from concept through to installation
- Delivery that exceeded customer performance and quality expectations
- Installation and commissioning within a fully operational live test facility
- Advanced control integration using Siemens PLC
- High-performance pneumatic systems supplied by SMC Pneumatics
- Precision hydropneumatic drive technology from Tox Pressotechnik
OUTCOME
Working closely with the customer and the University, Springfield NE successfully designed and delivered a complete suite of specialist tooling systems for the manufacture of electric motors.
The entire solution — both mechanical and electrical — was engineered in-house, manufactured, assembled, and rigorously tested to ensure maximum reliability, repeatability, and process capability. The result was a highly accurate, data-driven press and tooling system capable of meeting the demanding standards of modern electric motor production.
From initial concept through to final commissioning, Springfield NE provided a complete end-to-end engineering solution, including:
- Concept development & feasibility
- Mechanical & electrical design
- Precision manufacturing & assembly
- Software development & PLC programming
- Installation, commissioning & operator training
- Ongoing technical support & collaboration
This project demonstrates Springfield’s ability to combine precision engineering, intelligent automation, and collaborative innovation to deliver complex manufacturing solutions for the next generation of automotive technology.
