Technology and quality leadership in e-mobility
SHWire is one of the technology leaders in the development of enamelled copper wires for electromobility. For over a decade, we have been supplying wire solutions for electric drives – from ancillary unit applications to high-voltage traction motors – and we set standards for quality, safety and performance. With many years of experience in large-scale automotive production and a deep understanding of applications, we are actively shaping technological developments.
Progress in series production: How SHWire turns innovation into reality
As a pioneer and development partner in electrified drive technology, SHWire tackles challenges with one clear objective: to lead the way in innovation with solutions that are ready for serial production.
We work closely with customers and market partners to identify new requirements at an early stage and develop concrete solutions based on these findings. Our research and development department specializes in turning these findings into production-ready innovations.
The SHXLife® series represents a new generation of enamelled copper wires offering a significantly longer service life in partial discharge conditions. A specially developed enamel system containing functional additives provides particularly resistant insulation structure.
This opens up new possibilities in motor design, with higher winding density and an increased copper fill factor ensuring greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness. SHXLife® is therefore the ideal solution for modern 800 V+ traction applications, being ready for series production, cost-efficient and in line with the SHWire Industry 4.0+ standard for inline monitoring.
Our high-performance SHTherm® series wires, including PI-coated variants such as the SHTherm® 240 PI Flat, offer maximum thermal and electrical capacity. Designed for use in traction motors in the automotive high-voltage sector, they provide optimal insulation safety, even in extreme conditions.
They are the ideal solution when the highest levels of safety, voltage and temperature resistance are required.
Certified quality for high-voltage applications
Our copper and aluminium enamelled wires meet the highest quality standards. We monitor production using our patented system which goes far beyond industry standards. Fully automated checks are carried out continuously throughout the entire production process, enabling us to intervene quickly in the event of irregularities. This allows us to guarantee the highest quality of our enamelled copper and aluminium wires, setting benchmarks for Industry 4.0+ in enamelled wire production with our innovative process monitoring.
We further improve our quality levels through regular audits, during which we optimize our internal processes and procedures. In doing so, we focus not only on our products, internal processes and procedures, but also on our customers. Our IATF 16949 certification demonstrates that we consistently meet the stringent quality, product safety and legal compliance requirements throughout the entire supply chain. If you are a customer in need of innovative enamelled copper wires, you will clearly benefit from this.
