Laser precision for the road: components for the inductive charging infrastructure of the future

Contactless charging while traffic is moving - with precision components for the inductive charging infrastructure of tomorrow. Laser-machined, reliable, fit for the future.

The transport revolution requires new ideas – and reliable technology. One of these pioneering technologies: The inductive, dynamic energy supply of electric vehicles directly via the road surface. We supply laser-manufactured precision components for this - made from sophisticated materials, with maximum quality and absolute process reliability.
 

Technological background
Imagine a highway on which electric vehicles – from trucks to buses – are charged contactlessly while driving. This is exactly what the inductive charging infrastructure makes possible, with current-carrying primary coils with a soft-magnetic ferrite core installed in the roadway and the current-induced secondary coil with a soft-magnetic ferrite core installed under the electric vehicle. The current is transmitted via magnetic fields – efficiently, contact-free and low-maintenance – by the primary coilgenerating a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the secondary coil. This induced current can be stored or fed directly into the electric motor.
 

This solution offers enormous advantages

  • Charging while driving: no more downtimes
  • Reduction in the size of the vehicle battery: cheaper, lighter, more sustainable
  • Recyclable & modular: copper components and concrete elements can be recycled at the end of their life cycle and the new charging infrastructure can be installed in sections during renovations
     

Generating a magnetic field with ferrite cores
Ferrite cores are a central element in inductive energy transmission. These are made of soft magnetic materials and are used for the targeted control and bundling of the magnetic field. This is where our partner Tridelta Weichferrite GmbH comes into play: they manufacture high-quality ferrite components for the charging systems. If there are special application-specific features, LCP can then precisely fine-machine the shape, surface and structure of the ferrite cores using a laser.
 

Our role as LCP: precision in every detail

We support manufacturers and system providers in implementing this technology with laser-machined, high-precision components and laser machining processes for the charging and storage infrastructure.
