The Bus Bar Bending Solution
MOTI engineers to design and install busbar bending punching cutting machine that performed punching, bending and pressing in a single machine.
Our solution involved two mirror-image bending presses that enabled machining of both ends of the conductor at the same time. With one fixed unit and one moveable unit, an integrated length measurement system guarantees the accurate positioning of the moveable unit. When the raw material is inserted, it is positioned and clamped. The bending process then takes place at both ends. Our patented spring-back compensation system takes care of any spring-back.
The material distortion that was previously fixed with a secondary process is straightened out at both ends simultaneously by the press unit, and the bent angle is checked again. The accuracy of the bent angle obtained by this method is +/-0.15o, the material distortion after pressing is only a maximum of 0.04mm. The whole process time for a conductor is well under a minute, and the complete production process is automated.
Our team was successful in condensing the two-step machining process, formerly using two machines, into one process on one machine. This also reduced the inaccuracies by about a factor of 10, because the conductor is now firmly clamped in place during the whole procedure.
The operator no longer has to waste time positioning the piece for every bending and punching step, which led to inaccuracies. Tool-changing times have been radically reduced by our easy-to-change tooling system. This new machine has saved over 90 working hours just in the production of the rotor coil conductors for one generator. That’s a substantial savings!
