FROM TOOLING TO PRODUCTION
HOW THE RELATIONSHIP STARTEDIn 2013, Rollamo was initially contracted to develop jigs and fixtures for Lucy Electric's in-house manufacturing requirements.
Following feasibility checks and vendor validation, Rollamo went on to manufacture components for Lucy's VRN2a product line.
PRECISION MANUFACTURING
CRITICAL COMPONENTS. CONTROLLED PROCESSES.Rollamo manufactured precision-turned and milled components for the VRN2a product line across various stainless-steel grades.
The components required 20-micron diametrical tolerance and 1 Ra surface roughness.
Criticality was controlled through certified raw material, verification of critical raw-material parameters, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing and hardening and tempering for selected components.
PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
FROM DESIGN REVIEW TO MANUFACTURINGAfter one and a half years of VRN2a production, Lucy Electric worked with Rollamo on prototypes for a new product — AGIS.
- Reviewed the design for manufacturing feasibility
- Recommended design changes where required
- Optimized the mold strategy by developing 5 families of molds instead of 24 individual molds
- Supported quick prototype turnaround and reduced prototype-development cost
Mold design was optimized by developing 5 families of molds instead of 24 individual molds — saving turnaround time and reducing tooling development cost.
MASS PRODUCTION
FROM A PRODUCT LINE TO 160 COMPONENTSFollowing VRN2a, Rollamo manufactured 40 components using turning and milling processes.
Today, Rollamo manufactures 160 different components for Lucy Electric.
To support ongoing production, Rollamo developed and implemented specialty gauges and fixtures, a FARRO portable CMM arm, pre-dispatch inspection reports and raw-material certificates, and batch traceability through quality records.
