The changing face of drive technology
We master the key technologies
Our key technologies enable a mix of drive systems − for both systems that are installed in vehicles today and systems that will be installed in vehicles ten years from now and beyond. Over the past few years, we have consolidated and expanded our market leadership in the technological development of our products. Feintool maintains a presence in every market in which our expertise is demanded.
Electrolamination stamping
The core of an electric motor: stator and rotor stack, layered from hundreds of high-precision electrolaminations, either in-tool laminated, baked, welded, or glued.
Feinforming
A stack’s most important design elements consist of the bipolar plate and the MEA. Together, these two components largely determine the stack’s performance.
Fineblanking
A large number of fineblanked parts are installed in a battery-electric car, including power rails that, as high-voltage copper electrical contacts, have to meet extremely high standards.
Forming
When lightweight design and stability count. Formed parts in an electric motor include a component for the cooling jacket (top) and a sheet metal rotor arm and support flange (bottom).
Electrolamination stamping
Cutting technology for the drive technology of tomorrow
Electrolamination stamping technology from Feintool is synonymous with long-lasting functionality and convenient safety. When large quantities and maximum quality are required for demanding applications, our electrolamination components play a decisive role.
As a specialist for electrolaminations and sheet stacks, we guide our customers from the initial idea to profitable series production, be it for smaller volumes or demand-driven large-scale production.
Our expertise ranges from laser-cut prototypes to metal-to-plastic bonds and high-precision electrolamination stacks with a thickness of 0.1 to 1 millimeter – in-tool laminated, baked, welded, or bonded. Depending on the requirements, the sheet stacks are subjected to a heat-treatment process (tempering) in order to increase the efficiency of the electric motor.
Our comprehensive portfolio:
- Cost-benefit analyses
- Engineering
- Prototype manufacturing
- Product development
- Tool making
- High-volume production
The perfectly harmonized processes consistently meet the most stringent requirements and guarantee optimum results – with zero tolerance for errors. Feintool’s vibrant culture of innovation creates the conditions that enable the company to cost-effectively manufacture even highly complex stacks.

Feinforming
Key technology for the production of bipolar plates
The bipolar plate is the core of the fuel cell. Where other manufacturing processes reach their limits, our key technology of «FEINforming» lays the foundation for a new level of fuel cell drive efficiency. High-precision machining of extremely thin materials enables the production of low-volume, low-weight bipolar plates. This results in increased power density in the cell stack for long-range, compact vehicle drive systems.
«FEINforming» – a combination of our core competencies of fineblanking and forming – delivers all the properties that are of key importance to the future viability of the bipolar plate. This is how we are supporting the transformation to sustainable e-mobility with cutting-edge press and process expertise.
FB one – made for e-mobility
A new dimension of fineblanking and FEINforming
The electrification of mobility means that production systems have to meet new requirements. The FB one series from Feintool marks a quantum leap in fineblanking technology. This press generation sets new standards in terms of performance, energy efficiency, speed, and repeat accuracy. We get the opportunity to cut more precisely, all while using less energy. The FB one series is Feintool’s technological answer to the challenges of the future.
Long-lasting cutting-edge technology for the production of sophisticated components:
