Infilo's fully automated cleanliness inspection equipment has successfully been implemented at BorgWarner, a global leader in automotive powertrain systems, providing comprehensive service to its new energy electric motor drive product production lines. It provides full-process cleanliness control for high-end products such as integrated electric drive modules (iDM) and 800V silicon carbide electric drive systems at core bases in Tianjin and Wuhan, empowering BorgWarner's electrification strategy with precise detection.

Cooperation Background: Focusing on the stringent cleanliness requirements of new energy electric drives
As a leading global automotive parts supplier, BorgWarner is accelerating its electrification transformation, with a strategic goal of achieving 45% of its business from electric vehicles by 2030. Its new energy electric motor drive products are highly representative of advanced technology, including the iDM220 integrated electric drive module (with a maximum power exceeding 200KW) used in the Li Auto L8/L9 models, and the 800V silicon carbide electric drive system covering power requirements from 160-300KW. These products are widely supplied to mainstream OEMs such as Great Wall and Geely, with an annual production capacity of up to 2 million units.
These high-precision electric drive products have extremely demanding cleanliness requirements: even metal particles or fiber impurities smaller than 25μm in critical areas such as the insulation layer of the motor stator windings, the high-voltage terminals of the silicon carbide controller, and the precision mating surfaces of the gearbox, can cause fatal failures such as inter-turn short circuits, high-voltage breakdown, or mechanical wear. Traditional detection methods struggle to meet the need for precise identification of such minute contaminants, making Infilo's equipment, with its deep adaptation to new energy vehicle cleanliness standards, a core choice for BorgWarner.
Technology Empowerment: Precisely Matching the Detection Needs of Electric Drive Products Across All Scenarios
Infineon's customized cleanliness testing solution for BorgWarner fully complies with VDA 19.1 (2025 edition) and ISO 16232 standards, specifically addressing the pain points of electric drive product testing:
Micron-level precision detection, covering critical risk points: Utilizing a high-resolution optical imaging system and SEM/EDX standard analysis methods, the intelligent cleanliness analysis system can automatically identify metal, non-metal, and fiber contaminants ≥5μm. The capture rate of fibers in stator slots and conductive particles on the controller surface exceeds 99.5%, perfectly matching the electric drive system's requirements for controlling minute contaminants.
Fully automated process, adaptable to large-scale production: Integrating multi-mode extraction functions such as ultrasonic extraction and vacuum suction, it achieves efficient contaminant removal for the compact structure and complex internal cavities of the iDM module; single filter membrane scanning and analysis takes only 2-3 minutes, with one-click data archiving and report generation. It supports integration with BorgWarner's production traceability system, meeting the efficient testing needs of millions of units of production capacity.
Multi-dimensional data analysis, assisting in process optimization: It not only statistically analyzes basic indicators such as particle size and quantity, but also identifies the source of contamination through component analysis, providing data support for BorgWarner's grinding, cleaning, and assembly processes, effectively reducing product failure rates.
Standardized across multiple bases, ensuring global supply: The equipment can achieve standardized replication of testing parameters, ensuring consistent and comparable testing data across different bases such as Tianjin and Wuhan, meeting BorgWarner's unified supply quality requirements for global OEMs.
Cooperation Value: Jointly Promoting the High-Quality Development of the New Energy Electric Drive Industry
This cooperation represents a deep integration of Infineon's technological strength and BorgWarner's global strategy, demonstrating multiple industry values:
Providing a solid guarantee for BorgWarner's electrification strategy, through rigorous cleanliness control, further enhancing the reliability and service life of the iDM series and 800V silicon carbide electric drive systems, consolidating its leading technological position in the global electric drive field. The high stability of the equipment and the advantages of localized services significantly reduce BorgWarner's operation and maintenance costs. Its 7x24 continuous operation capability perfectly matches the pace of large-scale automotive parts production, ensuring efficient operation of the production line. Embracing the concept of green intelligent manufacturing, through precise pollutant tracing and process optimization, it helps BorgWarner reduce material waste in the production process, aligning with its 2035 carbon neutrality strategic goal and promoting the sustainable development of the new energy vehicle industry. In the future, Infinitum will continue to track BorgWarner's technological iteration needs, optimize the adaptability of the testing solutions for its next-generation highly integrated electric drive products, and jointly explore new frontiers in cleanliness control for new energy vehicles, providing more reliable quality assurance for global electric mobility.
