We’re excited to share a recent project with Southern Wind Shipyard, where Omegaverse produced two halves of a symmetrical modular plug for a 100ft Coachroof!
Due to the sheer size of the component (6m wide), it couldn’t fit within our 5m wind bay. But that didn’t stop us! We came up with a solution to split the plug down the middle, creating two halves that could be assembled later using machined locator points once production of the mould commenced. This project highlights the flexibility and ingenuity of modular plug design, offering several key advantages.
Modular Design for Large Components
By splitting the plug into two manageable halves, we made it possible to transport and handle the large component with ease, ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the process.
Precise Assembly
The use of locator points allowed us to precisely align the two halves during assembly, ensuring perfect symmetry and fit when the mould production started.
Handling & Transport Made Easier
This approach helps us take on larger projects that would typically be too cumbersome to transport or handle, proving that modular plugs are a game-changer for large-scale manufacturing.
We’re proud to support Southern Wind hipyard in their ambitious projects and continue to push the limits of what’s possible with innovative manufacturing solutions. On to the next exciting challenge!
