On January 28th, 12 core members of the TJU Santroll Peiyang Robotics Team visited Santroll for an immersive tech-driven field study. Comprising elite students from the School of Electrical and Information Engineering and the School of Mechanical Engineering, the team delved into the world of hard-core new energy electric drive technologies, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world industrial application.
Warm Introduction Session
The Santroll representative expressed a warm welcome to the team members and provided a detailed introduction to the company's development history and core business layout. Since its founding in 2001, Santroll has always been technology-oriented and committed to various drive system technologies. Its primary products are electric drive controllers and core components of flat-wire motors, which are widely applied in fields such as electric aviation, electric construction machinery, electric motorcycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric marine vessels, rail transit maintenance equipment, and more. With its solid technical strength, the company remains at the forefront of the industry.
The students from Tianjin University also enthusiastically shared the original intention behind the formation of the TJU Santroll Peiyang Robotics Team, their competition experiences, and their research directions in areas such as mechanical design and automatic control. Through this exchange, the two sides quickly closed the distance, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent visit and learning session.
Immersive Tour
The first stop was the corporate exhibition hall. From industry breakthroughs in electric bicycle controllers and the iterative upgrades of new energy vehicle hybrid power systems to today’s innovative R&D of aviation-grade electric drive products, each exhibit vividly demonstrated Santroll's more than twenty years of deep technical cultivation. Upon learning that the software SOI#1 (Planning Phase) audit for Santroll’s electric aviation CSM100 motor controller had been completed and received official approval from the authorities, the students expressed their admiration.
Subsequently, the group visited the machining workshop, SMT workshop, motor workshop, and electronic control workshop in sequence. The highlight of the tour was the testing center and the aviation laboratory. Various professional testing devices were performing performance detection and reliability tests on motors and controllers. Simulated test scenarios, such as high temperature and high humidity, vibration, and impact, provided the students with a direct understanding of the rigorous verification process products undergo from R&D to mass production.
After the visit, both sides gathered again for an in-depth exchange symposium. The students spoke enthusiastically, sharing their gains and insights from the tour.
A student remarked: "Previously, the control theory and algorithm design we learned in class always felt far from practical application. Today, in Santroll’s electronic control workshop and laboratory, seeing how this knowledge is transformed into the core competitiveness of a product has been a moment of sudden enlightenment. Santroll’s motor design and precision machining processes are closely related to the mechanical principles and intelligent manufacturing technologies we study in our major."
Walking together in winter to explore the frontier technologies. This visit by the TJU Santroll Peiyang Robotics Team allowed its members to step out of the campus and get closer to the industry.
In the future, Santroll will continue to deepen cooperation and exchange with universities. Using technology as the medium and talent as the bridge, the company aims to help more young students grow into innovative and practical talents who meet industrial needs, walking hand-in-hand on the path of technological innovation to create the future together!
