16×260 mm Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Busbar Processing Machine

800 kN Cutting, Punching and Bending for Wide Copper & Aluminum Busbars

The TRANFOVIA 803 Series Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Busbar Processing Machine is the largest capacity class in the listed DGWMX family. It is designed for transformer and electrical equipment manufacturers processing copper or aluminum busbars up to 16 × 260 mm.

With a nominal force of 800 kN and a punching range of Φ4.3–36 mm, the 803 Series is selected when 200 mm-class busbar capacity is no longer sufficient and the factory needs a wider 260 mm processing range.

Processing Wide Busbars up to 260 mm

The 803 Series is intended for projects where the actual busbar drawings require a processing range beyond the 16 × 200 mm class. Both listed 803 configurations use the E-series layout with rotary punching, double worktables and simultaneous three-station operation.

When Do You Really Need the 800 kN / 260 mm Capacity Class?

The 803 Series should not be selected simply because it is the highest-capacity DGWMX model. It is most relevant when the actual busbar dimensions or specified machine class require its wider processing range.

• Maximum busbar width is above 200 mm but within 260 mm.
• Maximum busbar thickness is within 16 mm.
• Required punching diameter is within Φ4.3–36 mm.
• The factory needs the widest listed DGWMX processing range.
• Cutting, punching and bending must remain integrated in one heavy-duty machine.

If all regular production busbars remain within 16 × 200 mm, the 503 Series may already provide sufficient processing capacity.

Processing 200–260 mm Wide Busbars

When busbar width moves beyond the 200 mm class, machine selection should be reviewed together with workshop space and material handling. The 803 Series has a listed machine size of 2150 × 1750 × 1500 mm and uses large worktables for wide-busbar processing.

• Confirm adequate feeding and handling space around the machine.
• Check operator access around the cutting, punching and bending work areas.
• Confirm the workshop handling method for 200–260 mm wide copper or aluminum busbars.
• Review tooling clearance against representative finished busbar drawings.

803E-3 vs. 803E-3-S: Do You Need Digital Bending Control?

Once the 16 × 260 mm / 800 kN capacity has been confirmed, the main remaining model decision is whether digital bending angle control is required.

803E-3 — Heavy-Duty Standard Bending Configuration

Choose the 803E-3 when the factory requires full 16 × 260 mm / 800 kN capacity, rotary punching, double worktables and simultaneous three-station operation, but digital bending angle control is not necessary.

803E-3-S — Digital Bending Angle Control

The 803E-3-S keeps the same heavy-duty processing capacity while adding digital bending angle control. It is more suitable when large busbar parts are produced repeatedly and the same bending settings need to be reused across batches.

• Repeated bending angles are used on wide busbars.
• Operators need preset bending parameters.
• Stored settings and error compensation are useful for repeat production.
• The factory wants a more controlled bending workflow for recurring parts.

Rotary Punching for Wide Transformer Busbars

Both listed 803 configurations use a rotary punching arrangement. This is useful when wide transformer busbars require different hole sizes or profiles and the workshop needs to switch between punching requirements without repeatedly rebuilding the station setup.

• Round holes
• Elongated holes
• Square holes
• Different punching diameters within Φ4.3–36 mm

Three-Station Heavy-Duty Busbar Processing

Both the 803E-3 and 803E-3-S are specified for simultaneous three-station operation. Cutting, punching and bending are separated into dedicated work areas so different operations can be organized at the same time.

Technical Specifications

Workshop Planning for 260 mm Wide Busbars

Because the 803 Series is the largest listed DGWMX capacity class, machine selection should be reviewed together with the workshop layout.

• Machine size: 2150 × 1750 × 1500 mm.
• Machine weight: 2250 kg for 803E-3 and 2280 kg for 803E-3-S.
• Confirm floor area around the machine for feeding and handling wide busbars.
• Confirm operator access around the worktables.
• Check the workshop method for handling 200–260 mm wide copper or aluminum busbars.
• Confirm power supply and required tooling layout before final installation.

503 vs. 803: Is 200 mm Capacity Already Enough?

If all production busbars remain within 16 × 200 mm, the 503 Series may already be sufficient. Move to the 803 Series when the actual busbar drawings require the wider 260 mm range or the specified 800 kN class.

Applications in Transformer Manufacturing

The 803 Series is suitable for transformer manufacturers whose copper or aluminum busbar production includes wide parts up to 260 mm. Typical work includes cutting, punching and forming large busbar connections for transformer terminals and other electrical connection points where the required dimensions exceed the 503 Series range.

• Punching unit: punching dies selected according to required hole dimensions.
• Bending unit: U-bending tooling, flat-bending tooling and embossing tooling as specified.
• Additional accessories: maintenance tools and foot switches according to the selected configuration.

Information Required Before Selection

• Busbar material: copper or aluminum.
• Maximum busbar width and thickness.
• Required hole diameters and hole shapes.
• Required bending types and angles.
• Typical finished busbar drawings.
• Whether digital bending angle control is required.

• Factory power supply.

FAQ

1. What is the maximum busbar size the 803 Series can process?

The listed maximum processing size is 16 × 260 mm.

2. What is the nominal force of the 803 Series?

The listed nominal force is 800 kN for both 803E-3 and 803E-3-S.

3. What is the punching range?

The listed punching range is Φ4.3–36 mm, subject to the selected dies and required hole geometry.

4. When should I choose the 803 Series instead of the 503 Series?

Choose the 803 Series when regular busbar production exceeds the 16 × 200 mm capacity of the 503 class and requires widths up to 260 mm.

5. What is the difference between 803E-3 and 803E-3-S?

Both have the same 800 kN / 16 × 260 mm processing capacity. The 803E-3-S adds digital bending angle control.

6. Can the three workstations operate simultaneously?

Yes. Both listed 803 configurations are specified for simultaneous three-station operation.

7. Does the 803 Series use rotary punching?

Yes. Both listed 803E configurations use the rotary punching arrangement.

8. What should be checked before installation?

Confirm floor area, busbar feeding and handling space, access around the worktables, power supply and the required tooling layout.
