BorgWarner has opened a new high-tech lab at its Technical Center in Noblesville, Indiana.
The new lab will allow engineers the ability to build, calibrate, and test electric propulsion systems for quick feedback to design and analysis teams. The 40,000 square-foot space will be home to many newly built electric components that will be used in both hybrid and electric vehicles.
“Having engineering, testing, and prototype together under one roof is a competitive advantage as we move toward a highly technical and electrified future,” said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. “The ability to streamline processes and improve design collaboration and responsiveness amongst engineering and prototyping will be reflected in future technologies developed at Noblesville.”
The Noblesville lab is designed to maximize space utilization; it moved all non-critical equipment such as high voltage cabinets, isolation transformers, and battery simulators, to an equipment platform, reserving space on the main floor for additional test cells. The interior insulated walls are modular allowing for quick and easy layout changes creating an agile building infrastructure for the future.
BorgWarner also equipped the facility with the scope of motor manufacturing equipment, including wire formers, slot liner insertion, wire insertion, laser welding, varnishing and end of line testing.
