AMRC led ROBOMAG project streamlines offshore wind generator production
1st March 2021 9:00 am 25th February 2021 12:16 pm A labour-intensive process to position powerful permanent magnets onto large generators for offshore wind has been made 60 times faster by automation experts at the University of Sheffield AMRC, cutting down the cycle time from one hour to just 55 seconds for each magnet. The ROBOMAG project, led by the AMRC’s Dr Alexei Winter (pictured) uses cutting edge robotics technology speed up the production process.
