THE OUTCOME In this demonstration, the digital toolsets from Siemens Digital Industries (e.g., Siemens NX and Simcenter Motorsolve) supported the MTC in developing a small, power-dense electric motor capable of 18kW mechanical output in a 7kg package. The manufacturing and inspection capabilities of machinery provided by DMG Mori and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence allowed the MTC to rapidly manufacture, inspect, and then iterate the electric motor design. The technologies provided by Bosch Rexroth AG also provided the MTC assembly process with intelligence and ensured ‘Right First Time’ production. In addition, one of the key outcomes from this project is the successful demonstration of the local and UK supply chains in manufacturing high value electric machines. The programme’s prototype has since become the foundation of future research and development activities across the MTC, with a view to showcasing the capabilities of the UK supply chain.
BENEFITS TO THE CLIENT Having access to the state-of-the-art technologies, coupled with teams of
researchers and manufacturing engineers, has provided a platform for the MTC to develop and prove manufacturing processes and technologies in a low-risk environment.
