Design for Manufacturing is crucial to overmoulded busbar engineering
Overmoulded busbars requires several components and manufacturing processes
processes, allowing more efficient and streamlined production.
CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING The construction of overmoulded busbars involves several components and manufacturing processes. Typically, the busbars are encapsulated in a protective material through an overmoulding process that provides insulation and protection from environmental factors. The process involves placing the busbar in a mould and injecting a thermoplastic material around it. This technique not only protects the busbar but also increases its mechanical strength and durability. Depending on the busbar application oil tightness is also crucial, which can be ensured with potting or seal-assembly processes. Given the diversity of applications,
manufacturing processes may vary. Common techniques include precision stamping, overmoulding, and various finishing processes to ensure optimum performance and reliability.
DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING As the demand for sophisticated electronic systems increases, the importance of Design for
Manufacturing (DFM) cannot be overstated. DFM principles ensure that products are designed with manufacturability in mind, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Wieland’s extensive experience in applications and manufacturing processes plays a critical role in optimising busbar designs for production. By incorporating DFM principles, Wieland is able to produce high-quality overmoulded busbars that meet the stringent requirements of modern electrical applications.
