6 You're always production. To ensure quality, we maintain assured that we've omitted nothing in our quest for calibrated humidity and temperature controlled customer satisfaction. Let us offer you the same peace conditions to store our insulation. Precision steel of mind that thousands of other companies have rule dies are used for cutting the insulation, enjoyed for more than 60 years. Here are just a few ensuring uniformity of size to produce quality reasons: bus bars. State-of-the-art metal fabrication is a key Properly selected insulation is the key factor to component to producing quality product.

7 Our a bus bar's electrical integrity. We utilize a wide state-of-the-art metal fabrication is maintained variety of dielectric materials, including Nomex, in-house and includes CNC fabricators, photo- Tedlar, Mylar, Kapton, Epoxy-Glass, GPO, Gatex, chemical machining, production punch presses and Phenolics; readily available to meet virtually ranging up to 200 tons, CNC press brakes, and any specification. In addition to traditional various edge conditioning processes. We offer a sheet lamination systems, we maintain our wide range of metal joining processes including own electrostatic powder coating department ultrasonic welding, induction brazing, torch that produces a quality epoxy finish with high brazing, and soldering.

8 Dielectric protection for bus bars with geometric forms, or those used in harsh environments. Plating Our complete, in-house plating department can produce almost any finish to meet Assembly and Lamination is controlled using your needs. Our finishing includes tin, tin-lead, sophisticated laminating systems specifically nickel, copper, silver, and gold. Plating under tight, designed and manufactured for each bus bar. laboratory-controlled conditions, we monitor and Hardware and interconnection devices can be control plating thickness to required specifications added before or after the laminating and plating to meet all customer requirements.
