We will introduce the quality symbols for copper and copper alloys. Metals possess various properties based on their components and compositions, but by changing the metal structure through heat treatment and processing, they can acquire even more diverse mechanical properties. For example, the alphabet at the end of a copper alloy designation, such as C1100-H, indicates the properties it possesses due to tempering. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

The delivery destinations for Ishigaki Shoten are transformer manufacturers and panel manufacturers. Among these, we excel at processing copper busbars ranging from 10mm to 20mm for controlling 550,000V at primary substations. We can handle material procurement, cutting, press hole drilling, press bending, machining for 12mm to 20mm, lathe processing of copper round bars, and plating (silver, tin, nickel), allowing for installation on the same day they arrive. Please note that there are processing limits for bending operations on 15mm and 20mm.

Transformers and various panels differ in size depending on the installation location and the amount of power handled. However, the strength of electricity must not weaken. To maximize performance within limited constraints, we can bend and redirect the materials, and by processing as much as possible with a single copper busbar, we can minimize the installation process. It is possible to deliver stable electricity simply by securing it with screws! Given the rising prices of copper, we only charge for the necessary material costs plus processing fees, so please consider this!

Ishigaki Shoten Co., Ltd. mainly engages in the prototyping and mass production of transformer-related components, control panel transformer-related parts, and high-speed railway-related components.

We would like to introduce our "Copper Busbars for Control Panels." This product is a copper busbar used inside distribution boards within facilities. It is a long and narrow product with a thickness of 4mm, a width of 15mm, and an overall length of approximately 200mm, but it can effectively distribute electricity. Ultimately, it will be delivered in its copper base with tin plating and nickel plating applied. The material used is C1100. 【Specifications】 ■ Size: 4×15 ■ Material: C1100 ■ Lot: 100 ■ Estimated Delivery Time: 1 to 2 weeks *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The product is a copper busbar with a thickness of 3mm and a width of 25mm.

This product is a "copper busbar twist bend" used inside transformers to control large currents at the substation level. It is a 6mm x 50mm copper busbar that can control approximately 600A of electricity! In fact, this product was created based on an idea from a worker installing transformers, who mentioned during a casual conversation with a transformer manufacturer supplied by Ishigaki Shoten that it took a long time to connect and install multiple copper busbars, saying, "It would be easier if this product could rotate around..." We have received orders from transformer manufacturers and panel manufacturers in the Tokai region, with plate thicknesses of 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm, and a width of 100mm (we have a record of 150mm width for the 6x150 model). Why not make installation easier with a single twist bend of the copper busbar? In addition, we also have a wide range of processing achievements for copper busbar products with thicknesses from 3mm to 20mm for transformer manufacturers and panel manufacturers in the Tokai region, processing 150 tons of copper annually as a specialized copper processing company. We have a consistent production system from order to processing, plating, and delivery/shipping, allowing us to respond quickly with drawings and order forms! Hand-drawn diagrams are acceptable! Truly, we can handle orders from just one piece! Urgent orders are welcome!

This is a copper spacer that we manufacture almost every day. Once the basic transformer is produced and passes the power-on test, it is disassembled and reassembled on-site. At that time, it is necessary to connect the existing power receiving section and the copper busbars inside. The "copper spacer" is what connects them with bolts. Of course, this spacer is also made of copper busbars, so it has excellent conductivity! Although small, it is an indispensable behind-the-scenes player. In addition, we have a wide range of processing achievements for copper busbar products with thicknesses from 3mm to 20mm for transformer manufacturers and panel manufacturers in the Tokai region, processing as much as 150 tons of copper annually as a specialized copper processing company. We have a consistent production system from order to processing, plating, and delivery/shipping, so we can respond quickly with drawings and order forms! Hand-drawn designs are acceptable! Truly, we can handle orders from just one piece! Urgent orders are welcome! (This product is a "flexible busbar," which is a power transmission component capable of controlling large currents at the substation level.)

Product Introduction Our company adopts "TIG welding" to accommodate various shapes and plate thicknesses. TIG welding is a technique that uses approximately 100A to 180A of electric heat and inert gas to melt the joining parts of the materials and manually join them. Copper's excellent conductivity can be a disadvantage in welding, as the electricity flowing through the weld can be transmitted in all directions. Therefore, it is necessary to have the experience to visually assess the melting of the materials and determine whether they are being welded, as electricity does not accumulate at the joint. To achieve high-quality welding, it is crucial to manage temperature through uniform preheating, temperature measurement, and welding; it is not an exaggeration to say that the quality of welding is determined by the preheating! Welding allows for sizes that exceed the width of commercially available copper busbars and enables shapes that can only be achieved through welding, thus expanding the range of product shapes. "I wonder if we can make this shape...?" Please feel free to consult with us. In addition, we have a wide range of processing achievements for copper busbar products with thicknesses from 3mm to 20mm for transformer manufacturers and panel manufacturers in the Tokai region, processing 150 tons of copper annually as a specialized copper processing company. We have a consistent production system from order to processing, plating, and delivery/shipping, allowing us to respond quickly with drawings and order forms!
