The Kaluga-based "Electroshield-K°" plant has launched a new automated production line for transformer components. The upgrade has doubled the output of magnetic cores and significantly improved their quality.

The new line is a key stage in the company's technological retooling program. The equipment automates the most complex and labor-intensive step—the precise winding of thin transformer steel tape into a toroidal core.

Automation eliminates human error, guaranteeing perfect geometry, uniform tension, and winding density for each component. This is critical for improving the performance of finished transformers and current sensors. Furthermore, the project has increased order fulfillment speed and optimized the entire production process.

"This is a strategic step for us," comments Vladimir Afonin, Deputy Director for Technical Affairs at "Electroshield-K°" LLC. "The growth of orders, especially as part of import substitution programs in the energy and industrial sectors, required a corresponding increase in production capacity. We selected the best equipment on the market, which not only meets our volume needs but also takes the quality of our products to a new level."

The new line has already been integrated into the plant's production chain. The increased output of magnetic cores will also positively impact the company's finished product output—instrument transformers and sensors used in energy, mechanical engineering, and other industries.
