Rishabh Instruments Ltd has announced that it has expanded manufacturing capacity in its Poland-based subsidiary Lumel SA.
In a release, Rishabh said that production capacity has been enhanced with respect to current transformers and analog meters. A new production area of 1,500 sqm has been created at Lumel’s existing manufacturing site in the Zielona Gòra city centre.
The new production area is designed specifically to manufacture current transformers (CTs) and analog meters. The new facility has 40 specialized production stations including advanced equipment such as toroidal winding machines for automatic winding of wires onto cores, ultrasonic welders, Omicron transformer testing devices, core winding machines and a vacuum furnace for annealing cores after winding.
To enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of testing procedures for CTs and analog meters, Lumel will also operate fully automatic multiple CT testing and meter testing equipment, the release said.
Highlights of the capacity expansion
- With the new production area, manufacturing capacity will treble, and overall production area will increase to almost 4,000 sqm
- The expanded facility will help Lumel deliver standard CTs in 1-2 weeks as opposed to the earlier lead time of over 5 weeks
- Lumel will be able to offer contract manufacturing services for CTs, analog meters and components such as cores
- The new facility will also enable Lumel to manufacture high-tech devices like network parameter analyzers, transducers, and MV network protection systems
Fully automated
According to Dineshkumar Musalekar, Wholetime Director, Rishabh Instruments, Ltd, “All processes related to the production of electro-mechanical devices (such as analog meters, current transformers, telemetry gates) will be housed in the new adapted plant. Moreover, the implementation of such new technologies will ensure that our customers benefit from fully automated testing of all devices, with test results readily accessible online.”
