Intelligent removal of isolation from hairpins
Thanks to a new process, Germany-based Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik is making the removal of isolation from hairpins even more reliable and efficient. The solution centers around an innovative sensor unit, which continuously measures the enameled copper wire.

The new process for removing the isolation from hairpins is integrated in the BM-HP servo system, which can manufacture up to 120 hairpins per minute. © Bihler
The new sensor system permanently measures the thickness of the enamel coating and the combined thickness of the coating and the copper wire. © Bihler
