Our Technology
at a Glance
Use Case 1: De-Icing Systems for Vehicle Sensors and Components
Reliable De-Icing for Safety-Critical Vehicle Sensors
A clear view of sensors is essential in modern driver assistance systems - even in ice and snow. With the WCEvario3D, MackSmaTec creates precise 3D wire structures for the active heating of sensor covers, bumpers or headlight glazing. The automated embedding process on complex surfaces ensures homogeneous heat distribution, fast response times and high repeat accuracy even for large series.
Technology in use:
WCEvario3D with robot guidance, ultrasonic wire embedding, integration of temperature sensors
Industry:
Automotive (driver assistance systems, front modules, lighting systems)
Use Case 2: Invisible Interior Heating for Comfort Systems
Flexible Heating Solutions for Vehicle Interiors – invisibly integrated
For modern vehicle interiors with a high degree of design freedom, MackSmaTec offers wire embedding technologies for integrating heating elements directly into surfaces such as dashboards, door panels or seat modules. With the FILUS system, heating wires are embedded in carrier foils or textile materials with millimetre precision – ideal for seat, steering wheel or ambient heating.
Technology in use:
FILUS for large-area 2D wire embedding, integration of pick & place and ultrasonic contacting
Industry:
Automotive (comfort systems, interior, premium vehicle lines)
Use case 3: Temperature Management and Monitoring of Vehicle Batteries
Efficient Heating and Sensor Technology for Electric Vehicle Batteries
Precise temperature management is crucial for the performance and service life of high-voltage batteries. With the WCEvario system, MackSmaTec develops functional wire structures for active battery heating and for embedding temperature sensors - integrated directly into thermally conductive carrier foils or plastic housings. The system enables fully automatic processing with simultaneous optical monitoring of each embedding process.
Technology in use:
WCEvario with ultrasonic wire embedding, integrated sensor cabling, inline control
Industry:
Automotive / electromobility (battery systems, thermal management, safety components)
Use case 4: Wire Integration on Films, Substrates and 3D Surfaces
Multi-Material Compatibility for Intelligent Films and Functional Carriers
Whether flexible films, rigid substrates or curved plastic shapes – MackSmaTec offers solutions for the precise embedding of wire structures on almost any substrate material. Our FILUS and WCEvario3D systems and our RFID inlay production machine solutions process heating, sensor or conductor wires on PVC, PET and TPU films as well as on 3D-molded components with a high degree of geometrical freedom. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for intelligent surfaces in the automotive, consumer electronics and medical technology sectors.
Technology in use:
FILUS for large-area 2D applications, WCEvario3D with robot guidance for 3D shapes, thermo-compression bonding (micro welding), solder joints, material recognition
Industry:
Automotive, medical technology, electronics industry (e.g. smart textiles, heating foils, capacitive control surfaces)
