Success Stories: Siemens

Siemens is a leading manufacturer of permanent magnet motors.  In 2004, Siemens was looking for a new completely integrated magnetization system for large rotors.  The machine had to be flexibly interchangeable for magnetizing a range of different motor types.  Optidrive together with Metis Instruments, a specialist in magnetization, has developed a solution consisting of an external fixture that is mounted  on a linear axis for stepwise magnetization.

The whole system is encapsulated in a safety enclosure taking into account ergonomics and ease of use.  The correct machine program is selected by means of a barcode reader.  The alignment of the fixture with the rotor position and orientation is automated.  In 2005 the system has been extended to an even larger range of motor types.
