From the first design consultation through dock-to-stock shipments, Eldre provides customers with innovative power distribution solutions.

State of the Art Metal Fabrication

Eldre’s state of the art metal fabrication is maintained in-house and includes CNC fabricators, photochemical machining, production punch presses ranging up to 200 tons, CNC press brakes, and various edge conditioning processes. We also offer a wide range of metal joining processes, including ultrasonic welding, induction brazing, torch brazing, and soldering.

Plating

Eldre maintains a complete, in-house plating department that can produce almost any finish to meet your needs. Our finishing includes tin, tin-lead, nickel, copper, silver and gold. Plating under tight, laboratory-controlled conditions, we monitor and control plating thickness to required specifications. We combine careful data monitoring, in-process controls, and x-ray testing to ensure a quality finish.

Precision Manufacturing

Precision manufacturing of dielectric components is crucial in

laminated bus bar production.

To ensure quality, we maintain calibrated humidity and temperature-controlled conditions to store our insulation. Precision laser cutters and steel rule dies are used for cutting the insulation, ensuring uniformity of size to produce quality bus bars.

Properly Selected Insulation

Properly selected insulation is the key factor to a bus bar’s electrical integrity. We utilize a wide variety of dielectric materials, including Nomex, Tedlar, Mylar, Kapton, Epoxy-Glass, GPO, Gatex and Phenolics. In addition to traditional sheet lamination systems, Eldre maintains its own electrostatic powder coating department that produces a quality epoxy finish with high dielectric protection for bus bars with geometric forms, or those used in harsh environments.

Assembly and Lamination

The assembly and lamination of Eldre bus bars are controlled using sophisticated laminating systems specifically designed and manufactured for each bus bar. Hardware and interconnection devices can be added before or after the laminating and plating process.
