DETAILED CASE

How the equipment was engineered.

Production context, equipment design, scope of delivery and verified customer value.

01 / Customer challenge

Siemens Energy needed strong steel supports for wind turbine blades during specific manufacturing steps.

The blades are large and difficult to handle, so the fixtures had to provide firm support while supporting safe and efficient operation in the production process.

02 / Engineered solution

DIS Systems designed and manufactured a set of robust semi-automated steel support frames for wind turbine blade manufacturing.

The frames provide the required support for the blades during the relevant manufacturing steps.
