27SepWhen it comes to designing and manufacturing bespoke busbars, with such a wide variety of materials and machining techniques available, it can be difficult to know which options best suit your individual requirements. In this blog, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide of materials and techniques available to help you make the
21JunWe are thrilled to be working with the epitome of British luxury Aston Martin, supplying busbars for their Valkyrie Hypercar. The carbon fiber material makes the car incredibly lightweight which, combined with the battery-electric system, creates a formidable hybrid hypercar. Even the paint is lightweight which adds no more than 3 pounds to the
14JanEpoxy powder coating has great advantages when it comes to insulating busbars. It has many benefits over traditional sleeving and wrapping of busbars, especially when complex shapes are required. Traditionally, busbars have been wrapped in fibreglass tape or sleeved in heatshrink to insulate them them; both processes are time consuming
24OctOur sheet metal facility has just received a brand new Coastone C9 high precision electric press brake. Driven by electric servos rather than hydraulics, this small, ultra-accurate press brake has 10 times the accuracy of a hydraulic press brake with a repeating accuracy of +/- 0.002 mm. Being electric, the
12SepAriane Group is a joint venture between European multinational aerospace company Airbus and Safran Group, who are leaders in Europe’s space industry. The company is currently developing the Ariane 6 space rocket and Electropak Ltd are delighted to be supplying parts for this groundbreaking project. The European Space Agency are planning the
22JulVery often on moving contacts, a silver contact tip is required on a copper parts. The silver tip is used to minimise the risk of arcing when switching high voltages. Here at Electropak Ltd, our highly skilled team of engineers can braze or silver solder the silver contact to the
26FebElectropak Ltd has invaluable experience designing and manufacturing blowout coils for the rail industry. A blowout coil is a safety device used to suppress electric arcs created in the air gap between contacts when switching high currents. Magnetic blowout coils overcome this condition by providing a magnetic field that pushes
31JulWhat is sheet metal fabrication? Sheet metal is metal which has been manipulated to become thin sheets in order to be bent and cut to create structures and forms. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of utilising these ‘sheets’ to bend and cut into those structures. What are the stages
22MarWhat is water jet cutting? Water jet cutting is the process of accurately cutting sheet metal and other materials by using high pressure water through an intense cutting stream. Abrasive materials are usually added to the water, which increases the precision of the cutting technique. This allows for thicker and
4JanComputer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are a cost-effective way to increase operational efficiency and product quality. They reduce overheads and improve your bottom line performance as a result of quicker production and products of consistently higher quality. Widely used across the manufacturing industry, CNC machines are increasingly replacing manually operated
