Engineered for electrical machinery facilities across mainland Portugal and the autonomous regions, each unit guarantees structural repeatability, minimal copper friction, and continuous duty automation.
Understanding electromagnetic forces, harmonic vibration dampening, and slot end-turn stabilization in modern variable frequency drive (VFD) applications.
Unlike single-side lacing machinery that requires operators to reverse and relocate the stator—inducing micro-abrasions in magnet wire enameling and doubling handling cycle times—our Automatic Stator Double Lacing Machine binds both the drive end (DE) and non-drive end (NDE) simultaneously. Dual synchronized servo drives govern the needle stroking, hook tensioning, and rotational indexing tables.
Cycle Time Comparison: Traditional single-side lacing requires 55 to 75 seconds per stator. Synchronous dual-side lacing achieves full binding in 14 to 22 seconds depending on slot configuration.
Through rigid programmable stitching profiles—encompassing continuous slot-by-slot lacing, boundary skip-slot configurations, and custom tie-off terminations—mechanical strain is distributed across the core crown. This mechanical containment prevents end-turn splay during insertion into tight die-cast motor housings.
Modern industrial equipment manufactured in northern and central Portugal increasingly runs on inverter duty power supplies. Variable speed operations generate sharp switching transients ($dv/dt$ spikes) that manifest high electromagnetic repulsive pulses between coil heads. If coils lack structural lacing rigidity:
Our machines utilize programmable electronic wire tension governors that maintain steady tension (15 to 45 N adjusted per thread tensile threshold). This guarantees that polyester, meta-aramid, or fiberglass lacing tapes form a solid composite end-turn block after secondary varnish dipping.
Supporting Portuguese OEMs, tier-1 electromechanical integrators, and rewind workshops in transitioning toward automated, high-efficiency motor manufacturing.
Home to metalworking clusters and major electric motor manufacturing plants (such as facilities situated across Maia, Matosinhos, and Vila Nova de Gaia). Factories here focus on three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors (IEC frames 71 to 200). Our double lacing equipment delivers the speed, repeatable clearance, and tooling versatility required to fulfill tight European export deadlines.
Portugal’s center for mechanical engineering, cycling innovations, domestic appliances, and light mobility drives. High-speed, two-station stator winding along with precise automated double lacing allows local assembly lines to produce brushless DC (BLDC) motors, small pump motors, and compressor units with minimal labor overhead, replacing manual lacing methods with automated repeatability.
The industrial regions surrounding Leiria, Marinha Grande, and Pombal house world-class hydraulic pumps, irrigation equipment, and mold-making operations. Submersible pumps and sanitary pumps require moisture-resistant, non-deforming lacing so that stator heads sit properly within oil-filled or resin-encapsulated housings without thermal hot-spots.
| Industry Paradigm | Conventional Production Hurdle | Automated Double Lacing Solution | Impact on Portuguese OEMs |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU EcoDesign (IE4 / IE5 Efficiency Mandates) | Higher slot fill factors (often >75%) make manual end-turn forming and knotting difficult, leading to scraped enamel and internal grounds. | Servo-guided progressive insertion leaves room for balanced double-end lacing without excessive wire surface friction. | Complete alignment with strict European Union ecodesign directives and reduced field returns. |
| Labor Shortages in Electromechanics | Skilled hand-lacing specialists in Lisbon, Porto, and Braga are retiring, leaving substantial operational knowledge gaps. | One operator manages multiple workstations. Loading, indexing, stitch formation, and trimming run under closed-loop PLC automation. | Reduces labor dependencies by 65% while keeping manufacturing output predictable and scaleable. |
| High-Mix Low-Volume (HMLV) Production | Frequent changeovers between frame sizes (e.g., changing from a 2-pole compressor to a 6-pole fan stator) waste tooling setup hours. | Modular fixture clamps, quick-change lacing needles, and digital parameter memory reduce re-tooling to under 15 minutes. | Empowers localized contract manufacturers to handle varied European batch runs efficiently. |

Machined from tool-steel castings and vacuum heat-treated, our lacing needles resist mechanical deflection even when driving through dense end-turns, preventing needle breakages and production stalls.
Direct servo motor coupling through zero-backlash planetary reducers guarantees that slot division angles match customer laminations down to ±0.05° precision across 8 to 72 slot geometries.
Equipped with dual optical safety light curtains, emergency safety monitoring relays, and CE-compliant physical guards to provide safe working conditions for plant personnel.

Direct answers addressing technical parameters, delivery logistics, CE standards, and after-sales service to assist your procurement process.
Yes. In motors where the lead-wire extraction point creates a thicker bundle or where starting and running coils require different head geometries, the operator can customize the needle stroke, entry angle, and indexing parameters via the touchscreen HMI. Different stitching heights can be programmed across specific slot groups to preserve lead-wire insulation integrity without crushing delicate connection joints.
Standard machines have an assembly lead time of 25 to 35 business days, including custom tooling preparation and trial validation runs. Ocean freight from Shenzhen/Guangzhou ports to the Port of Leixões (serving northern Portugal) or the Port of Lisbon typically takes between 28 and 38 transit days. We supply full export documentation—including Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Origin, and Bills of Lading—to support clearance via the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority (Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira).
