“I was confident that ENABL could solve the task. Multi Seam Welding Stations are well-known systems at other tower manufacturers, and the solution ensures that we achieve the desired capacity in a limited space. I also realized that ENABL had an understanding and in-depth knowledge of tower production. They know that it’s not as simple as it looks,” explains Mr. Park, Head of CS Wind Taiwan.
CS Wind wanted a reliable and easy-to-operate solution, given that their 100+ employees were inexperienced in SAW welding. It is therefore crucial that operators are trained and trust the equipment so they can concentrate on product quality.
“We had asked for a customized solution due to limited crane capacity and limited space. ENABL has provided a customized solution for the fit-up systems, for Growing Line and a customized lifting unit. For internal transport, a transfer unit was developed to lift the cans between the bays. A fit-up system was positioned on top of the transfer unit to reduce the space. All the solutions ensure the desired capacity,” says Mr. Park.
“The collaboration on the project with Mr. Park and Mr. Lee, as well as the entire CS Wind team, has been great. Weekly Skype meetings and status reports have ensured that all interfaces, specifications and requirements have been met. The benefits of our outstanding collaboration mean that we have resolved the challenges by implementing customized solutions to ensure CS Wind maximum output,” says Thomas Thyssen, Business Development Manager at ENABL.
The rotators and fit-up systems can handle heavy structures even though crane capacity is limited. “We would like to continue our cooperation with ENABL for development of customized equipment for the production of towers of a larger-diameter and heavier weight,” says Mr. Park.
This is the first time CS Wind has partnered with a European supplier of rotators and column & booms.
“We have had an excellent collaboration. ENABL delivered on time even within a tight schedule, and delivered an efficient Engineering team for installation, training and commissioning,” concludes Mr. Park.
