Our case studies

We focus on offering ‘added value’ to our clients through technical assistance and engagement from prototype to volume production.

Science & Research - CERN

A twin-aperture, 10 m long, prototype magnet was designed by CERN to gain experience in the construction of full scale twin-aperture Dipole Magnets. HV Wooding were given the task to produce the Twin-aperture Dipole magnet Laminations. Click to read a Case study demonstrating our ongoing work with CERN on the Large Hadron Collider - and the positive impact from our input.

Ventilator Challenge UK

British engineering firms were called on to switch to making medical ventilators as concern grew about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. This follows an appeal by Boris Johnson, who held an emergency conference appealing for an urgent effort to address the national shortage.

Data Centre Busbars

A Global Social Media Platform were looking to enhance the performance, reliability and efficiency of their Data Centre Operation. This project involved HV Wooding in the design optimisation and manufacture of Busbars.

Next generation of Tidal Turbines

A Global manufacture in the “Renewables Sector” are developing the next generation of Tidal Turbines. In order to optimise engineering performance they needed a partner to help facilitate both the design and manufacturing solution of “Laminate Sections” for the Permanent Magnet Generator.

High Volume of Metal Stampings and Busbars

A leading Global manufacturer of Electrical Automation and Control Solutions have a high volume of Metal Stampings and Busbars used within their product groups. These include regular repeat items and also spot ordered parts that are delivered to multiple locations.

Next Generation of Offshore Wind Turbines

A worldwide manufacturer of Wind Turbines, developing the Generator Busbars for the next generation of offshore 7MW machines.

“Hybrid Drivetrain” for Motorsport and Transportation applications

A Global manufacturer of “Hybrid Drivetrain” for Motorsport and Transportation applications. A key market for flywheel energy storage technology is the public transport sector. This technology can save fuel and reduce green house gas emissions by up to 30% in a city bus for example.

Strategic outsourcing partner

A leading international manufacturer of electrical accessories were producing all components in house. In order to focus on core activities and increase profitability, they needed a strategic outsourcing partner that they could trust. After a detailed evaluation, they decided to outsource all presswork components to HV Wooding.

Looking to reduce the cost of manufacture

UK Atomic Energy Authority is a UK government research organisation responsible for the development of nuclear fusion power. Requirement to manufacture Busbars for MAST upgrade.
