Abstract
Despite numerous purchase incentives, the spread of electric mobility in Germany is lagging behind expectations and political targets. The main reasons are the high acquisition costs, the limited vehicle driving range and the uncomfortable charging process. With regard to the last two challenges, inductive power transfer (IPT) systems promise great potential. These offer a considerably improved charging comfort, better user safety and the possibility of road charging which allows practically unlimited driving range while reducing battery capacity. Thus, this paper points out, how the application of IPT technology overcomes the main obstacles of electric mobility and why production automation is needed to make use of its huge value-adding potential. The production process chain is analyzed and the individual challenges for the coil production are presented.
