Magnetic Laminations for Industrial Automation: Maximum Efficiency for Smart Systems

Industrial automation lies at the heart of digital transformation across the manufacturing world. From intelligent production lines and robotics to CNC machines and automated material handling systems, automation is reshaping how products are made across sectors—automotive, food & beverage, packaging, logistics, and more.

In all these systems, electric motors are the driving force. They must operate with precision, reliability, and energy efficiency. And behind every high-performing motor are high-quality magnetic laminations, manufactured with the accuracy and consistency demanded by advanced automation environments. This is exactly where VMF’s expertise becomes a key asset.

High Performance in High-Intensity Environments

Automated plants run 24/7, often at high speed and with tight operational cycles. Motors must perform consistently over time, minimizing energy losses, overheating, and unplanned maintenance.

Magnetic laminations used in industrial automation must be stamped with micrometric precision, from high-performance electrical steels that preserve both mechanical and magnetic properties under thermal and mechanical stress.

VMF ensures these outcomes through strict control at every production stage: material selection, stacking precision, laser marking, and full lot traceability.

Design Flexibility for Custom Components

No two industrial plants are identical. Each has its own footprint, power range, geometry, and functional requirements. That’s why lamination manufacturing cannot be standardized.

VMF does not design motors; instead, we work alongside our customers’ engineering teams to design and industrialize the production process for their custom laminations. We manufacture bespoke stators and rotors tailored to specific project requirements, offering:

• Rapid prototyping via laser cutting
• Pre-series via high-speed punching
• Scalable production with progressive dies

This modular approach allows for flexibility—crucial in meeting the pace and complexity of modern automation systems.

Precision and Quality Control as a Constant Guarantee

Every production batch is validated using state-of-the-art metrological systems:

• Probing machines for dimensional inspection
• CNC optical systems for microscopic accuracy
• AC/DC magnetic testing for performance validation

These ensure that the laminations meet all technical specifications and are ready for integration into high-performance motors—powering robotic arms, conveyors, pick-and-place machines, and beyond.

In the world of industrial automation, the line between smooth performance and frequent breakdowns often lies in the quality of internal components. Magnetic laminations are one of the most crucial elements in this chain, and VMF is the ideal partner to turn your requirements into precise, reliable components that are ready for Industry 4.0.

With a flexible, controlled, and technically driven manufacturing process, VMF supports automation leaders in building smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable production systems.
