Our Manufacturing
Process
For all boards, the manufacture process is as follows:
- Design Office, where the design and detailed drawings are produced,
- Fabrication Shop, where the steel enclosures are manufactured
- Washing and Paint Shop, where the latest powder epoxy coating methods are used.
- Assembly and Electrical Workshop.
- Stores and Dispatch.
At the commencement of a Project, our experienced staff will ensure an efficient design and that all Client requirements are met. The design covers the complete preparation of all steelwork and electrical drawings necessary for the manufacture of the steel enclosures and the wiring of the panel.
Drawings are developed using EPLAN the latest CAD package for Electrical Drawings and archived for future reference.
On approval of the drawings the steel enclosures, using zinc enriched mild steel are manufactured. Each piece is precision laser cut and punched on the CNC machine. It is then bent accurately on CNC bending machines.
The switchboard sections are then passed through the passivation and pickling tanks to remove any surface rust and grease. Painting is by means of electrostatic powder coating using polyurethane powder and baked to ensure a durable finish. Curing time in the oven is programmed automatically to ensure a correct baking time for the coating.
The panels are then assembled and bolted to their frames. They then move on into the electrical assembly area and workshop. Here the electrical equipment and busbars are installed, wring is completed, and instrumentation added
