1 min read

A Birmingham metal pressings specialist is heading to Southern Manufacturing on 5-7 February in a bid to build on its reputation as a world leader in electrical steel laminations.

Brandauer, which reported a 20% increase in sales in 2018, will be showcasing its ability to produce products that start at just 12mm in diameter, 0.1 to 0.65mm thin and consistently accurate to within just 20 microns.

Visitors to Stand E190 will be able to see first-hand laminations that are used in some of the world’s most ambitious products, including electric vehicles, renewables, life protection or aerospace applications.

Explained Graham Allison, technical sales manager at Brandauer: “Our expertise has even stretched to providing components for the PD-100 by FLIR (formerly ProxDynamics), a personal reconnaissance system with a rotor diameter of just 1.2cm.”

“The so-called ‘Black Hornet’ is a tiny drone used in law enforcement, with the military and in search and rescue and we have played a crucial role in making it a reality.

“It’s stories like this that we are looking to tell at Southern Manufacturing, a show that has proven hugely successful for us in the past. We’ll have our technical experts on hand to discuss your electrical steel lamination requirements, as well as a number of applications where our components are being used.”

Brandauer will also be displaying EloPin, a new press-fit product that allows the solderless connection of terminal pins to a PCB.

Graham concluded: “We have just sealed a near £1m order for EloPin and are currently working through a number of quotes to supply customers in five different sectors, who also want to take advantage of this technology.”
