Automated Motor Assembly Manufacturer & Factories for the Toulouse Market

1. Flight Control & EMA Actuation Lines

In the aeronautics manufacturing hubs of Blagnac and Colomiers, electro-mechanical actuators (EMA) and electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA) are rapidly replacing central hydraulic loops. Our BLDC and PMSM stator automated lines produce slotless and concentrated-winding stators with exceptional coil symmetry.

Equipped with multi-strand needle winders and automated paper cuff insulation stations, these cells prevent wire cross-over defects, providing fail-safe reliability for primary flight surfaces (ailerons, spoilers, and rudders) where failure is not an option.

2. eVTOL, UAM & Drone Propulsion Systems

Toulouse-Francazal and the Bordeblanche development zones are home to pioneer drone startups and regional urban air mobility builders. Outer-rotor wheel hub and direct-drive brushless motors demand maximum power-to-weight ratios (kW/kg).

Our automated outer-rotor needle winding machines process heavy-gauge flat or stranded magnet wire around tight stator teeth, followed by automated neodymium magnet insertion, dispensing high-temperature structural adhesive with micro-gram volumetric repeatability.

3. Cryogenic Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Auxiliary Drives

With Occitanie positioning itself as the leader of the French Hydrogen Corridor (Corridor H2), regional pump and compressor manufacturers require brushless motors operating in harsh, sub-zero or gaseous hydrogen environments.

Our assembly lines offer integrated trickle varnishing, potting encapsulation, and surge-suppression insulation stations capable of handling Class H and Class N thermal-rated enamels, shielding wound stators against chemical permeation and partial discharge.

4. Regional Rail Traction & AGV Robotics (Tarbes-Toulouse Axis)

Along the rail-equipment manufacturing corridor extending towards Tarbes, high-reliability induction and traction auxiliary motors keep rolling stock operational. Nakro’s heavy-duty stator insertion machines manage stack heights up to 450 mm, feeding both pre-shaped coils and slot wedges in a single coordinated hydraulic-servo motion. This reduces cycle times by up to 65% compared to manual loading methods while preserving phase-to-phase insulation paper intact.

5. Commercial EV Auxiliary, HVAC & Actuation Assemblies

Electric utility fleets, agricultural machinery manufacturers, and specialty commercial vehicle integrators in Montauban and Albi utilize DC brush motors and compact BLDC drives for cooling fans, steering assist, and hydraulic lifts. Our complete automated armature lines integrate shaft press-fitting, hook commutator fusing, high-speed turning, and 2-plane dynamic balancing within a single footprint.

Aerospace Electrification (More Electric Aircraft - MEA)

The European Roadmap towards net-zero aviation by 2050 necessitates unprecedented electrical power density inside aircraft nacelles and avionics bays. Weight reduction dictates that stators achieve extreme copper fill ratios (up to 55-60%) without risk of short-circuits. Nakro lines utilize CNC multi-axis needle winders with active tension feedback, eliminating the mechanical stress that damages ultra-thin insulation barriers.

Comprehensive Traceability (EN 9100 & ISO 9001 Alignment)

Toulouse prime contractors require component-level birth certificates. Every automated station built by Nakro supports Industrial Ethernet (Profinet, EtherCAT) and barcode/RFID serialization. Data points—including wire winding tension curves, hot-staking thermal profiles, commutator runout values, and 5000V Hi-Pot test readouts—are recorded in line databases for seamless MES/ERP transfer.

Decarbonization & Circular Sourcing Strategies

With French electricity driven by low-carbon nuclear power, manufacturing plants focus heavily on reducing scrap rates and raw material waste (especially expensive copper magnet wire and grain-oriented electrical silicon steel). Nakro’s precise programmable wire cut-off and wedge insertion mechanics reduce copper scrap down to less than 0.8% per production shift.

Verified ISO 9001 Quality

Operating strictly under certified ISO 9001 systems since 2010. Every machine frame is heat-treated to relieve stress and CNC milled for life-long dimensional stability.
