1. Technological Innovation: Deep Integration of Multi-Process Integration and Intelligent Control
Combined busbar processing machines, core equipment for copper and aluminum busbar processing in power systems, are leveraging multi-process integration technology to achieve a leap from single-function processing to full-process processing. For example, Shandong Gaoji's BM303-S-3-8P integrates three functional modules: punching, shearing, and bending. Its dual-worktable design allows for simultaneous operation of three stations, achieving a positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm and a 60% improvement in efficiency compared to traditional equipment. The machine uses proprietary CAD/CAM software to directly import 3D drawings to generate processing programs. The machine completes the entire process from punching to bending a single 10mm thick copper busbar in just 12 seconds, increasing the processing qualification rate from 91% to 99%.

Core technological breakthroughs are reflected in three areas:

Multi-axis linkage and modular design: Jisheng CNC's JSSK series utilizes a servo motor-driven ball screw, coupled with a closed-loop feedback system using a grating scale, achieving punching positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm and shearing dimensional deviation of ≤±0.1mm. The equipment supports separate dies for the punch body and punch tip, reducing die change time to 15 minutes. It also supports integrated multi-process integration for punching, shearing, embossing, and more.

AI Process Optimization: Yawei Co., Ltd.'s servo presses are equipped with the Deepseek intelligent engine, which uses machine learning to analyze historical data and automatically optimize stamping parameters. This reduces energy consumption by 40%, increases processing efficiency by 30%, and reduces product defect rates by 40%. The equipment also integrates an AI visual recognition system for automatic busbar positioning and defect detection, reducing the need for manual intervention to less than 10%.

Digital Collaboration: Jiangsu Jinfangyuan's MC-50 equipment comes standard with an Industrial IoT interface, enabling real-time upload of processing data to the MES system, supporting remote diagnosis and virtual commissioning. Digital twin technology has shortened new product development cycles by 40% and reduced equipment maintenance costs by 25%.

II. Application Scenario: Precise Adaptation of the New Energy Revolution and Power Infrastructure

The new energy sector has become the fastest-growing market. With the widespread adoption of TOPCon battery technology, demand for copper busbar processing for photovoltaic inverters has surged. Yonglian Group's modular processing machine, designed specifically for plastic-coated copper busbars, uses segmented mold optimization to ensure the plastic coating remains intact during punching and bending. It has been mass-produced on CATL's energy storage system production lines. In the new energy vehicle sector, the global copper-aluminum busbar market is expected to reach 45 billion yuan in 2025, driving a 4.2-fold increase in procurement of processing machines with laser positioning capabilities over the past three years.

Power infrastructure remains the largest application market. Ultra-high voltage grid construction is driving a 22% increase in the production capacity of 800mm wide processing machines. Smart grid transformation requires equipment with processing data traceability. The penetration rate of IoT modules will increase from 34% in 2023 to 51%. Jinan Rongruida customized a processing machine for a power equipment manufacturer. Using its MES system, the machine collected real-time pressure and angle data, helping the client achieve ISO 9001 certification and reducing rework rates from 15% to 2%.

III. Market Landscape: A Dual Track of Domestic Growth and International Competition

The market size of modular busbar processing machines in China is expected to exceed 7.5 billion yuan by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 12%, showing significant regional concentration. The Yangtze River Delta region holds a 47.3% market share. Jiangsu companies excel in high-precision CNC systems, achieving an average product accuracy of ±0.02mm, 30% higher than the industry average. Shandong Gaoji, with its 70% domestic market share, has earned recognition as the first set of technological equipment in Shandong Province for its intelligent production line. Its core equipment has been exported to over 20 countries, including Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Foreign brands still dominate the high-end market. TRUMPF's processing machines in Germany achieve a precision of ±0.02°, but their unit price is as high as 2.8 to 3.5 million yuan, primarily serving the aerospace and other sectors. Domestic brands are seizing the mid-range market through differentiation strategies: Rongruida's equipment is only 60% of the price of foreign brands and offers 24-hour on-site service. It holds over 35% market share among high- and low-voltage distribution cabinet manufacturers. Policy support is accelerating domestic substitution, with Jiangsu Province providing a 30% subsidy to companies purchasing high-end equipment, with a maximum subsidy of 500,000 yuan per unit.

IV. User Value: The Double Dividend of Efficiency Leaps and Quality Revolutions
Production efficiency has significantly improved. Rongruida's processing machines have a single-shift capacity of 800 units, a 30% increase over traditional equipment. This has helped a distribution cabinet manufacturer save 12,000 yuan in monthly labor costs and successfully fulfilled a peak season order of 1,500 units. Shandong Gaoji's intelligent production line is fully unmanned, with a single workpiece processing cycle of just one minute, noise levels below 60 decibels, and a significantly improved workshop environment.

Quality consistency has become a core competitive advantage. Jinan Rongruida's equipment operates 24 hours a day without any problems, maintaining a punching diameter error within ±0.05mm, a 50% improvement over the industry average. The equipment's fully enclosed protective cover (IP54 protection), photoelectric interlocking device, and standardized anti-wear hydraulic oil replacement have reduced the incidence of mechanical injuries by 82%.
V. Future Trends: Deep Integration of Intelligent and Green Manufacturing
The in-depth application of AI and the Internet of Things will become a technological leader. Siemens' next-generation control system automatically optimizes machining paths. Its predictive maintenance module increases the accuracy of mold wear cycle prediction to 90%, reducing maintenance costs by 25%. The trend toward green manufacturing is evident, with the proportion of models with oil mist recovery efficiencies ≥98% increasing from 41% in 2023 to 68% in 2025. Shandong Lijian's DGWMX series, with its energy-saving hydraulic system, reduces energy consumption by 18% compared to traditional equipment.

Modular and shared manufacturing models are emerging. Equipment investment in regional shared machining centers accounts for 7.8%. Small and medium-sized manufacturers can use high-end machining centers through leasing models, reducing fixed asset investment. In the future, with the application of 5G and digital twin technology, equipment will enable remote diagnosis and virtual commissioning. It is expected that the proportion of intelligent equipment will exceed 55% by 2025, driving the industry's transformation from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing services."

Conclusion
As the "industrial heart" of power equipment manufacturing, the technological evolution of modular busbar machining centers is closely linked to market demand. From traditional hydraulic drive to full servo intelligent control, and from single functions to multi-process integration, the industry is undergoing a transformation from "tools" to "intelligent platforms." Driven by the dual forces of the new energy revolution and digital transformation, equipment with high precision, high reliability, and high intelligence will become the core of corporate competitiveness. In the future, with the deep integration of AI and IoT technologies, modular busbar machining centers are expected to further break through the limits of efficiency and precision, injecting new momentum into the upgrade of global power infrastructure.
