MANUFACTURED WITH PRIDE IN THE USA
Before Production
Bus Bars are one of Watteredge’s most common products that we produce for you our customer. If you’re curious about how bus bars are manufactured, this article is perfect for you! Before Watteredge even receives the copper or aluminum meant for your order it is has the chance to be plated with a specific material such as silver, tin, gold, or nickel. The bus bars width and thickness are already cut to the specific measurement you wanted. These bars are typically around 12 feet in length before possibly being cut into smaller peices. Once receiving your order’s materials we transport them into our production area to prepare them to be manufactured.
During Production
Once being placed on our punching machine your bus bars go through the machine and are punched to your specified design. The bus bars are checked throughout this machining process to ensure your design is being produced correctly. If we are producing multiple parts for you there is a good chance that these parts could be all be produced at the same time in our punching machine. After being punched your parts go down a conveyor belt and are deburred before anything else happens to them.
After bus bars are machined and deburred a couple of other changes can happen. If you have requested it, your bus bars can be bent in various ways. If this is occurring one of our employees will take your bus bars through one of our several bending machines to be bent to your specifications. Furthermore, if you have requested for bus bars to be assembled after machining and bending this will take place too.
Preparation for Shipping
After being bent and assembled bus bars are prepared to be shipped. They are put onto pallets and secured so they are not damaged during transport. After that they are picked up by a delivery truck and are headed your way!
