Getting clean bends in copper and aluminium busbars

Busbar Processing, 03 September 2026 , by Sales Team, 1 min read

A clean bend depends on three things.

Spring-back compensation. The bender controller adds the extra angle the metal springs back.
The right mold. Use step molds for close offsets, edge-bending molds for bends on the narrow side, and twist molds for 90 degree twists.
Surface protection. Rotatable plates stop the busbar surface from being marked during bending.

Check mold limits before ordering: for example, edge bending is typically limited to 40 x 10 mm at 90 degrees.
