Stamping, 3D bending, laser welding, dipping, and the checks that stay with the lot.
Forming stays in-house: stamping lines, 3D bending, laser welding, fluidized-bed dipping, cutting, and surface treatment. Riveting, and the lamination, machining, and plating used on rack and flexible busbars, are done in the plants as well.
Checks include resistance, temperature rise, hipot and insulation, vision measurement, and salt spray. Equipment is tied into MES, so the step, the data, and the lot stay together.
The same lines build copper busbars, aluminum busbars, flexible busbars, and other conductive connectors.
