Calibrating a motor controller through test
Sponsored by HBK In an electric powertrain the motor, inverter, and gear box need to work together to give the desired performance and experience for the end user. Ideally, these components should be designed to work together, but that is rarely the case, as the parts come from a variety of suppliers. All the components… Read more »
Learn the advantages of ultrasonic welding for high voltage cables
Sponsored by Herrmann Ultrasonics Aluminum and C\copper cables are commonplace between EV batteries, motors, and charging points. Ultrasonic welding can create a solid-state bond between dissimilar materials such as copper and aluminum. Cross-sectional areas of 95 mm² are common. However, demands for 120 mm² will require more powerful ultrasonic generators. Learn more about ultrasonic welding technology and the fundamentals of… Read more »
Using active alignment adhesives in LiDAR and optical assemblies (whitepaper)
Sponsored by Dymax Newly developed adhesives for active alignment of camera modules, optical components, and LiDAR assemblies in automotive applications cure rapidly “on demand” upon exposure to UV/LED light. These adhesives can also cure under low-temperature heat (80° C) to accommodate for any shadow areas. The products demonstrate excellent depth of cure, very low shrinkage,… Read more »
