LARM2024 – A New Event
Nearly 100 specialists in electrical machine design and manufacturing gathered in the AMRC, Sheffield, UK, for two days in June 2024. The programme of talks covered applications in automotive, aerospace, power generation, and logistics, looking at materials, additive manufacturing, motor topologies, gearing, and more.
A fascinating tour of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre showcased the sheer variety of work being done there, from robotic control to flexible flooring, with many different machine designs being investigated. The dinner at The Mowbray was memorable for its quality, and also for accommodating the England / Netherlands Euros semi-final. Not all delegates were delighted with the result – apologies to our Dutch participants.
Delegates praised 2024’s “really brilliant event”, saying “presentations were great”, in a “super friendly community” which “encourages honest collaboration, working towards research without barriers”. Taking note of feedback though, 2025 will have a more diverse speaker programme, and will attempt to better control the room temperature!
Last year we had delegates from
Nissan | ZF Group | Hyundai Motor Company | Lund University |
Rolls-Royce | Wave Drives | AMRC | Magnomatics Ltd |
Curtiss Wright | YASA | Arnold Magnetic Technologies | NPL |
Evolito | INRIM | Bakker Magnetics | PAR Insulations & Wires Ltd |
