Core Competencies

Winding

With the inclusion of electric motor components to the wide variety of coil and coil-based products produced by Kurz-Kasch, the Company now has the widest possible range of standard and unique coil winding and forming capabilities. With a long history of high speed bobbin wound coil manufacturing and complimentary electric motor stator coil winding and form methods developed, Kurz-Kasch has a unique capability in nonstandard coil manufacturing. The Company’s winding equipment includes multi-head bobbin coil winding machines to unique, custom designed coil winding and forming equipment.

Termination Technology

Kurz-Kasch has many years of experience in the termination of magnets and lead in coil, stator, solenoid and specialty electrical product applications. These termination processes include crimping, heat soldering, reflow soldering, flame soldering, resistance welding, plasma arc welding, brazing, insulation displacement and wire bonding and others. Kurz-Kasch has also developed specialty control techniques for these termination methods to permit them to be automated and to provide rigorous joint integrity monitoring, allowing for further quality assurance.

Machining

Through its work with stators over the last two decades Kurz-Kasch has developed significant expertise in machining to fine finishes, often within tolerances of 3 to 5 microns. For its products, Kurz-Kasch must often machine several dissimilar materials simultaneously, requiring a unique knowledge and experience.

Overmolding

Kurz-Kasch has developed unique capabilities in the overmolding of electrical and mechanical assemblies and components. The Company’s overmolding applications include electrical coils, stators, solenoids, electric motor components and valve assemblies. Kurz-Kasch can overmold with both thermosets and thermoplastics, using traditional methods or proprietary Kurz-Kasch processes. The Company has also developed a proprietary specialty thermoplastic material with unique thermal management and dielectric properties.
