Motor Laminations and Core Packs

Adding value to our customers by optimising the design and manufacturing of complex Motor Laminations and Core Packs, utilising state of the art processes we are able to achieve the most demanding tolerances in a range of Silicon Steels and Cobalt materials.

Motor Laminations manufactured to your specification. Loose, or bonded. All electrical steel grades. Wire erosion, Laser Cutting UK Supporting the aerospace & motorsport industries for over 40 years manufacturing Motor Laminations, busbars and components.

HV Wooding has been supporting Motor lamination projects for nearly 40 years using Wire EDM, Laser Cutting and Stamping Technologies.

We are able to offer options in the production of bonded lamination stacks using both pre and post bonding techniques to suit customer requirements. Leaders in this area of technology, we are able to offer added value to your project.

Pre-bonded wire eroded stacks are frequently used for prototyping and initial testing. We are able to scale this up utilising laser cutting and stamping methods and post bonding to suit customer requirements.

HV Wooding, which employ 90 staff at its manufacturing facility in Hythe, has invested more than £500,000 into the installation of the Trumpf TruLaser 3030 as it looks to take advantage of significant ‘electrification’ opportunities. The company has doubled its laser capacity with this addition and the machine will immediately be used to produce thin gauge laminations and busbars for use in electric cars, lorries, buses and commercial vehicles, not to mention offering customers the ability to cut below 0.5mm thickness and to a better than 50 microns tolerance. Installed last month, the Trumpf 3030 is an industry-leading machine, with 3kW laser power, simultaneous axis speeds 170M/min, axis acceleration of 14 m/s2 and a fast pallet change time of only 18.5 seconds.

We are constantly investing to ensure we offer the latest technologies and reduce lead times. We have recently invested in a new Laser Cutting machine and High speed Press to boost further our production capabilities.
