THE TOOL THAT ENABLES THE BEST TORQUE DENSITY

Our simulation tool generates and evaluates thousands of motor designs in just a few hours, giving us a complete overview of what's possible to achieve. From this dense design space, we identify optimal configurations, each offering a unique trade-off between cost and efficiency. This is how we optimize our motors for robotics applications.

What exactly is WheemX™?

WheemX™ is Wheemo’s in-house 3D simulation tool that is specifically designed for optimmising axial flux motors. It finds the most optimal design based on: magnet mass reduction for cost efficiency, compact packaging for seamless integration and energy density & thermal management for long-term reliability.

As a full development pipeline, WheemX™ automates the entire process from geometry creation to simulation results, offering unmatched efficiency and accuracy. By using advanced simulation techniques and AI driven optimisation, WheemX™ generates the best motors for the robotics industry.
