Blowout Coils for the Rail Industry Electropak Precision Engineering designs and manufactures blowout coils for the rail industry from our facility in Preston,  Lancashire in the UK. A blowout coil is an electromagnetic device used in electrical circuit breakers or contactors—especially in DC (direct current) circuits—to extinguish an arc that

Alstom We supplied these vacuum circuit breaker units to Alstom as part of the upgrades they are doing for South African Railways. The units are mounted on top of trains and are used to switch between different supply voltages on long distance mineral trains serving the South African mining industry. Electropak turned and

Busbars for Aerospace Test Set Electropak were approached by one of our customers to manufacture powder coated busbars for an aerospace test set. The busbars were water cut from copper sheet then formed on a brake press using custom tooling made in our tool room. Then the busbars were machined

Multi Ply Components We produce support legs for medical X-Ray scanners using a wide range of services. Firstly, the aluminium sheet is cut down to size quickly and effectively using our Bystronic Bystar 4020 laser cutter. Our Bridgeport VMC 800 vertical milling machine is then programmed to profile the support

GA Pressure Radio Unit This precision fabricated box was manufactured in association with Phoenix Systems UK and Eaton Aerospace. It is a GA Pressure Radio Unit for the Rolls Royce engine of a Tornado GR4 Fighter Jet. Firstly, our toolmakers manufactured precision press tooling. The boxes were then laser cut

Aerospace Precision Engineering – BAE Systems This wing tip pod test bench was manufactured for BAE Systems using nearly all of our manufacturing facilities. It involved laser cutting, sheet metal work, milling, turning, welding, painting and engraving. The aluminium sheet metal parts were TIG welded together to give a clean,

Torque Adaptor Assemblies Submarines At Electropak Ltd, we take pride in our meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to quality, particularly when it comes to producing essential components for the defence industry. Our recent project involved the manufacturing of Torque Adaptor Assemblies specifically designed for use in submarines. These assemblies exemplify our

Brazed Busbars The journey of creating brazed busbars begins with the water cutting of Copper sheets. This initial step ensures precision and accuracy in shaping the base components. Water cutting, known for its ability to create intricate designs without inducing heat-related distortions, lays the foundation for the superior quality of
