Change of scenery – a tool is relocated

Change of scenery – a tool is relocated

All kinds of production equipment for insulators are normally designed for a specific project and, ideally, used for years if not decades. Over time, however, the original conditions may be no longer adequate from a technological and commercial perspective, and consideration has to be given to a different setting for production. The answer is to relocate production to another site frequently with new tooling or save capital by relocating the tooling.

Tool Relocation

Triggers like increased demands on quality standards, poor efficiency or inadequate production capacity, and geopolitical developments like punitive tariffs have already justified tool transfers to KUVAG. In this case, a well-known manufacturer of cable fittings decided to discontinue their in-house production of epoxy resin insulators, as internal production was no longer competitive, and the considerable anticipated investment could not be commercially justified.

An interdisciplinary KUVAG team closely collaborated with our customers to investigate all technical and organizational requirements and risks. Based on this, we created a detailed transfer plan and an attractive offer. The important step of technically evaluating the tools was performed in a two-stage process: the first stage involved analyzing the structure, functionality and status of the tools, followed by a diagnosis undertaken by our process engineers in their in-house tool workshop. We prepared the findings within three days, developed a customized continuation concept, and offered the necessary modifications to the customer. Only eleven weeks elapsed between the start of the project and the successful integration of the molds into our internal process control, including the required acceptance and type testing. The rapid and smooth implementation of a turnkey solution was only possible due to our broad positioning in terms of process control, flexible material preparation, and extensive testing capabilities.

Any move is, of course, associated with effort and risk. KUVAG has rich experience in implementing such projects, and we have already helped many projects flourish and enabled a continuation of product lines.
