Custom Metal Parts Fabricated for Transformer Enclosures: A Case Study
Metal Parts fabrication plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of transformer enclosures as well as in providing the necessary components for these essential power devices. In a recent project, Openex undertook the challenge of fabricating over a thousand metal parts for transformer enclosures, addressing the demands of large quantity, various types, tight schedules, and high precision requirements set by the customer.
Fabrication Process
The fabrication process for the custom metal parts encompassed a series of steps to ensure precise manufacturing and meet the customer's specifications.
Flattening: The initial step in the fabrication process involved the efficient removal of internal stress from the steel plates. To achieve this, our team employed the advanced equipment NOVA 20.0, which effectively eliminated any stress within the material. This step was critical in ensuring the stability and durability of the fabricated metal parts.
Cutting: Next, we utilized the high-power GrandTech laser cutting system to precisely cut the steel plates into the required shapes and sizes. By leveraging this advanced technology, we were able to maintain exceptional straightness within a tolerance of just 2mm. This accuracy ensured the subsequent bending process would yield precise dimensions.
Press Braking: Once the metal parts were accurately cut, our skilled technicians employed advanced press braking machines and bending techniques to shape them into the desired forms. The high precision achieved during the cutting phase was essential in achieving consistent and accurate dimensions during the bending process. This meticulous attention to detail resulted in perfectly formed metal parts for the transformer enclosures.
Inspection: Quality control was paramount throughout the project. Our team conducted rigorous inspections at every stage of the fabrication process to ensure the highest standards were met. Each metal part was thoroughly examined to verify its dimensional accuracy, flatness, and adherence to the customer's stringent requirements.
Benefits of Custom Metal Parts for Transformer Enclosures
Custom-made metal parts play a vital role in the construction of transformer enclosures for electric power systems. These enclosures provide protection and insulation for the sensitive components inside the transformer, ensuring safe and efficient power distribution. By fabricating custom sheet metal parts, we were able to offer the following advantages:
Precise Fit: Custom fabrication allows for exact dimensions and specifications tailored to the transformer enclosure's unique requirements. This ensures a precise fit, maximizing the enclosure's functionality and minimizing potential risks.
Enhanced Durability: The use of high-quality materials and fabrication techniques results in robust metal parts that can withstand the demanding conditions of transformer enclosures. Custom fabrication enables the selection of materials suitable for the specific environment, enhancing the overall durability and lifespan of the enclosures.
Optimal Performance: Custom metal parts ar e designed to meet the highest processing accuracy and flatness standards. By fabricating parts with meticulous precision, we contribute to the transformer's overall performance, enabling efficient energy transmission and minimizing losses.
