Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE), a global specialist in advanced electron beam welding solutions, will be exhibiting at
Coiltech 2026 – Europe’s leading trade fair for coil winding, electric motors, generators and transformers, taking place 25-26 March in Augsburg, Germany (Hall 3, Stand B57).
CVE will showcase innovative electron beam welding technologies that can support the growing demands of different industrial applications – including electric vehicle (EV) motor production. They have a range of advanced welding options available that can help manufacturers achieve exceptionally high-quality welds, with improved repeatability – key factors in the manufacture of complex components such as motor stators.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to speak with experts from CVE at the stand. They will also be able to view application examples and discuss how electron beam welding can be integrated into next-generation manufacturing lines.
In addition to exhibiting at Coiltech, CVE’s technical team will take part in conference proceedings. Max Nentwich, lead development engineer, will deliver a presentation exploring the potential of electron beam welding to transform manufacturing of the next generation of EV motor stators. He will discuss how electron beam welding can meet the considerable challenges posed by new hairpin geometries and materials without compromising on cycle time or cost.
Evaluated as a joining process for copper and aluminium hairpin and X-pin stators, electron beam welding has been shown to produce high-quality welds, repeatably. Mr Nentwich’s presentation will show the unique physics of electron beam welding, using high-speed video recordings, the results of metallographic analysis and tensile testing of electron beam-welded stators and pins.
Mr Nentwich concluded: “As EV manufacturers continue to push for the First Time Through yields historically achieved for internal combustion vehicles, welding technologies play a critical role. Our work in advanced welding is helping motor manufacturers unlock new levels of performance and consistency, and Coiltech provides the ideal platform to share these insights with the industry.”
