VEM is an innovative, internationally-active and reliable manufacturer of technically sophisticated system and drive solutions, custom drives and single components. The output capacity ranges from . kilowatts to megawatts / megavolt ampere. Continuity and reliability, including in the future, this is what the production and service at VEM stands for. The engineering and quality of the products with the VEM logo are trendsetters within the market.

With the recent purchase and installation of a new insulation robot, VEM Sachsenwerk GmbH has killed two birds with one stone. Firstly, it enables the electric drive specialist to practically double the number of insulated copper-wire coils it can produce. That not only expands production capacities, but also improves overall production conditions. At the same time, the commissioning of the new plant – at a cost of around €, – is an investment in the future. “We intend to continue with further investments to support our core competences winding and coil manufacture over the next two years. After all, they represent the heart of an electric machine,” says Sebastian Wolf, head of the coil manufacturing department. The new insulation robot achieves tangible enhancement of the wrapping quality for the insulation of high-voltage machines from Sachsenwerk. “We are now even better able to meet both our own quality ambitions and the ever-increasing demands of our customers,” Wolf continues. With reference to the bulging order books, he also emphasises that this modern technology does not place jobs in danger. On the contrary, it is actually contributing to the creation of new jobs at Sachsenwerk.

In our production plant, in addition to pressing, mechanical processing, winding, assembly, dye, repair and maintenance sections, we also have our own aluminum injection shop where we produce the lighter casing and a custom production shop where we respond to special design requests. Gamak has one of Europe’s best test laboratories and a wire enamaling facility where as one of the two capable factories in the world, we enamel our own wire.

Following commissioning of the machining centres in October , EMAG provided on-site training for the operators. One of them is Dirk Schubert. He manufactures end shields of all sizes in grey cast iron or aluminium for projects requiring batches of at least  workpieces. The EMAGs can also be used for contract production for other VEM locations. There is now nothing in the way of progress to the next step.

The history of the VEM Group begins at the start of the th century. The three German locations that today make up the VEM Group, initially developed completely independently of each other as separate companies that grew together in the course of history. Today, the company can look back on a history of more than years, built on a culture of innovation, technical expertise and the highest level of engineering, which still characterizes the VEM Group to this day.
