The copper processing at Ishigaki Shoten is based on a deep understanding and technology of the unique properties of C1100 tough pitch copper. During processing, the material's flexibility, high density, and ductility present significant challenges. In particular, during press processing, the material's stickiness and the adhesion of the mold due to heat are critical issues, while in machining, managing the high thermal conductivity and burr generation is essential. Ishigaki Shoten overcomes these challenges to provide high-quality copper products.

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!

• Non-ferrous metals

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.

The products processed from copper round bars at Ishigaki Store are important products that receive the transmitted electric current. How can we achieve successful processing? The answer is that processing cannot be done without a solid understanding of the basics. What is lathe processing? It is a type of machine tool that holds a round bar in a place called a chuck, rotates it, and cuts it using a tool appropriate for its function. What types of processing are possible? 1: Outer diameter cutting Cutting the outer side of the round bar. 2: Inner diameter cutting Cutting the inside of the round bar. 3: End face processing Improving the flatness of the cut surfaces on both ends of the round bar by cutting 0.5 mm to 2 mm for dimensional accuracy. 4: Drilling Creating holes of specified size and depth on the end face of the round bar according to the drawing requirements. Multi-axis machine tools, such as composite machines, can drill holes on the side of the round bar. 5: Boring Using a boring tool on the drilled hole to widen it to fine tolerances or improve the flatness of the inner surface. 6: Thread cutting Cutting the outer and inner diameters of the round bar with a tool called a thread cutting bit to form threads. 7: Parting Cutting by pressing the tool against the center of the round bar. Understanding the basics and processing is the first step for a craftsman.
