In a development project for the Swedish truck and trolley manufacturer, Helge Nyberg, Lesj\u00f6fors Industrifj\u00e4drar in Herrljunga pushed the boundaries of their coiling wire diameters to deliver a unique project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tasked by their fashion client with designing a step trolley with a \u2018springy shelf\u2019, Helge Nyberg challenged the team at Lesjofors to secure the spring solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having supplied stock springs for Helge Nyberg\u2019s standard range products, the Herrljunga based manufacturing site of the Lesjofors Group has been a long-term supplier of quality, lifetime guarantee springs for decades. The requirements by the fashion house demanded a new level of bespoke component supply for this newly commissioned and customised specific trolley and this is where the challenge lied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts in the field of customised trolleys, Helge Nyberg\u2019s R&D manager, Patrik Ignell<\/strong>, turned to Lesj\u00f6fors: ”Our customer required a trolley with a loading shelf that automatically lowered when loading. Since we already had a good relationship with Lesj\u00f6fors Industrifj\u00e4drar, we turned to the Herrljunga unit with the challenging request.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The technicians seized the opportunity to overcome a spring issue and assessed the drawings but it soon became apparent that the compression spring requirements was initially thought to be too large for the company’s machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not that this was a major issue as the Lesjofors Group coils wire from 0.3mm to 65mm diameter and the project could have migrated to another of the groups 55+ manufacturing sites. However, a determination to deliver above and beyond for the customer, to keep it local, to deepen the relationship between the key sub contractor site and its customer, saw the technicians expand the existing parameters of their wire coiling facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA challenge for the machine capacity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
