About
Martin Gerngros is a leading figure in the field of automated manufacturing for electric traction motors, with a specific focus on advancing needle winding technology. His research addresses a critical bottleneck in e-mobility production: the flexible and efficient winding of copper wire into stators. Gerngros’s major contribution lies in replacing rigid, specialized winding machines with highly adaptable, standard industrial robots. His pioneering work, such as the 2017 paper on "Highly flexible needle winding kinematics" (16 citations), demonstrates how to overcome the inflexibility of traditional cam-disk programming, enabling complex winding patterns with standard, cost-effective hardware. He further refined this approach in his 2018 work on "NURBS based trajectory generation" (9 citations), which provides the mathematical framework for precise, smooth robot motion in five axes. By proving that industrial robots can achieve the precision and speed required for traction stator production, Gerngros has paved the way for more flexible, scalable, and affordable manufacturing lines, directly supporting the automotive industry’s shift toward electric vehicles.
