Explore Specifications ›The global automotive and industrial sectors are experiencing an irreversible shift from traditional round-wire random winding to flat-wire (hairpin) continuous winding technology. In high-power-density propulsion systems, conventional round enamel copper wire typically yields an active slot-fill factor between 40% and 50%. The inevitable voids between circular conductors introduce air pockets with poor thermal conductivity, generating heat hotspots and limiting the motor's continuous power rating.
By contrasting round conductors with precision rectangular enameled flat copper conductors, our flat wire motor production lines achieve slot-fill factors exceeding 70% to 75%. This massive gain decreases slot electrical resistance, mitigates copper losses under high currents, and provides up to a 10% increase in torque density alongside superior heat conduction directly into the stator core iron stack.
Core Advantage: Nakro's turnkey hairpin lines integrate laser wire stripping, 3D multi-axis CNC bending, high-speed twisting, and 3D vision-guided robotic laser welding into a coherent closed-loop Industry 4.0 ecosystem with comprehensive SCADA tracking.
| Performance Metric | Conventional Round Wire | Nakro Flat Wire (Hairpin) |
|---|---|---|
| Slot Fill Factor | 40% – 52% | 70% – 78% |
| Thermal Dissipation | Poor (internal air voids) | Superior (flat contact interface) |
| Continuous Power Output | Baseline reference | +18% to +26% improvement |
| End-Turn Overhang Height | Irregular / high volume | Reduced by 20% – 30% axial height |
| High-Speed AC Copper Losses | Skin-effect limited at >12k RPM | Optimized multi-layer transposition |
| Automation Reliability | Manual lead dressing needed | 100% full-process robotic execution |
Achieving defect-free, multi-layer flat wire motor stators requires micron-level mechanical repeatable tolerances, zero enamel layer degradation, and immaculate weld pool consistency across hundreds of copper joints per assembly.
Continuous feeding, servo-controlled pre-creasing, B-stage / DMD / Nomex slot paper cut-off, and high-speed multi-station inserting. Supports B-shape, S-shape, and complex multi-layer partition slot liner configurations without tears.
Cycle Time: ≤ 1.2s / slotDirect uncoiling, multi-roller tensioned wire straightening, non-contact fiber laser or mechanical stripping of polyimide enamel insulation, high-speed cutoff, and servo-cam forming into 3D hairpin profiles without conductor scratching.
Bending Repeatability: ±0.05 mmPrecision robotic transfer gathers hairpins into a circular tooling cage, pre-aligning layer rings (4, 6, 8, or 10-layer configurations) simultaneously. Multi-axis servo thrust gently presses the entire hairpin bundle into stator slots.

Compliance: ISO 16750 & UL 1004Southern California represents one of North America's most concentrated centers for clean transportation design, commercial electric mobility manufacturing, and cutting-edge aerospace engineering.
From the industrial corridors of Torrance, El Segundo, and Irvine out to the Inland Empire logistics hubs, local commercial vehicle and bus builders require high-torque flat wire traction motors to comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) mandates.
Los Angeles remains the aerospace capital of the West Coast. Urban Air Mobility (UAM), eVTOL developers, and space cargo builders in Hawthorne, Long Beach, and the Antelope Valley utilize our compact hairpin motor tooling for ultra-reliable flight control surfaces and auxiliary power packs.
The Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach are aggressively deploying automated zero-emission terminal equipment. High-reliability hub motors, heavy gantry drives, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) demand continuous, heavy-duty duty cycle flat wire motor stators built to endure maritime air.
California continues to lead North America in statutory decarbonization goals. With Executive Order N-79-20 requiring 100% zero-emission passenger car sales by 2035 and 100% zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty drayage trucks by 2035, local Tier-1 automotive suppliers and custom motor rewinders are under intense pressure to modernize legacy winding infrastructure.
Concurrently, the transition from 400V battery architectures to 800V silicon-carbide (SiC) inverters demands stators capable of surviving high dv/dt voltage transients without partial discharge breakdown. Flat-wire stators provide ordered, uniform turn-to-turn conductor placement that eliminates random cross-overs, substantially improving dielectric reliability under 800V operating conditions.
Purchasing teams based in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego are progressively transitioning toward factory-direct turnkey line suppliers who combine custom mechanical R&D with localized engineering commissioning.
