Used variable speed in China

Overview

Busbar bending and forming machines shape conductive bars (busbars) used in switchgear, distribution panels, and bus ducts. These machines handle copper and aluminum strips of varying widths and thicknesses, offering hydraulic, mechanical, or CNC-controlled bending, notching, punching, and trimming. They prioritize precision, repeatability, and tooling flexibility so fabricators can produce accurate bends, consistent angles, and clean edges for high-current electrical assemblies.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used busbar bending/forming machine?

Check capacity (max width and thickness), tooling condition, CNC controls and software, hydraulic system leaks, electrical safety features, spare parts availability, and maintenance records. Test repeatability and bend accuracy if possible.

How do I ship a busbar forming machine safely?

Use an experienced heavy-equipment carrier. Secure moving parts and tooling, drain fluids if required, block the machine to prevent shifting, protect control panels, and label lifting points. Provide cribbing and a rigid pallet or crate for transport.

What routine maintenance keeps these machines reliable?

Regularly change hydraulic oil and filters, lubricate bearings and slides, inspect seals and hoses, check die wear and alignment, clean electrical cabinets, back up CNC programs, and test safety interlocks and emergency stops.
