Insulation production is to be modernized by ZTR

Two machines with computer numerical control for the laminate cardboard treatment were put into operation at PJSC “Zaporozhtransformator” within investment program for improvement of conditions and efficiency of labour. The contract for the purchase of four side longitudinal-milling machine for the insulation production was signed in November.

Machines are intended for the treatment of new multilayered material – “laminate” based on cardboard, glued by synthetic binding agent. The first machine, that treats center by means of computer numerical control is ROVER C9.50, intended to treat laminate was put into operation in October of the current year. For the present time insulation part lot for the current factory orders was manufactured, operators and developers of the program were trained. Supervision and setup-and-adjustment works of the second machine, center is cut by computer numerical control WNT-750 started in November of the year 2011. The first treatment of cutting mode of laminate plates will be performed in the nearest period.

During the selection of manufacturer, PJSC “ZTR” selected well-known company BIESSE (Pesarro, Italy) of production of special machines for woodworking and plate materials. «Mounting and setup-and-adjustment works are performed by qualified specialists of BIESSE company, – mentioned Chief Technologist of PJSC “Zaporozhtransformator” Vyacheslav Valchuk. – Workers of the enterprise will be trained on the new high technological equipment, that will permit to execute assigned tasks qualitative».

Longitudinal-milling machine Superset XL (Italy) with the system of the rapid change of tool HSK80, which ZTR planned to implement up to the end of the year, will permit to manufacture insulation parts (rods) made of laminate cardboard with the improved qualitative and precision characteristics. Reduction of tolerance during the manufacturing of rods will permit to reduce insulation distances, outline dimensions and transformer mass.

The price of the new equipment for insulation production made up USD 710 thousand. Implementation of new equipment – is one step for improvement of ZTR production competitiveness, quality and reduction of labour intensiveness.
