Compact Transformer Stations
Project description
The installed mold is designed for the production of transformer stations with the dimensions 2.4 x 2.1 x 2.3 m (L x W x H) and 2.9 x 2.1 x 2.3 m (L x W x H). In this case, the core can be converted to accommodate the other length. This variability also had to be taken into account in the base frame and the exterior panels. The exterior panels can be moved manually and are firmly locked together using corner braces. The vastly different interiors of the transformer stations are realized using interchangeable attachments that are held securely on the core with a hydraulic clamping device.
The customer can select from 23 different attachments from our product range (14 different attachments in the example). For window recesses in one or more side walls of the elements, Ratec also supplied the corresponding steel frames that are attached to the exterior panels of the shuttering and are held in place by high-performance magnets. Prior to this, retooling from one variant to the next took up to half a working day. Now, changing the attachments is significantly faster with similar station sizes. And it’s no longer necessary for a worker to enter the core in order to fix the attachments, as these are clamped with a hydraulic mechanism.
