Why Choose IATF16949 Certified Factory for Your EV Battery Busbar Production?

The need for an EV Battery System involves a product that will function efficiently through the testing of years for vibration, temperature, and heavy current load. For such critical applications, a factory's quality certification is more than just a procedure, it's an accurate representation of a factory's manufacturing capabilities. IATF 16949 is the most severe automotive quality management system used around the world. When it comes to reliability, safety and value, this certificate really comes through for copper and aluminum busbars, laminated shunts, and flexible insulated busbars. Certainly, Kinto's company follows this standard for full trust for EV battery market.

Zero Defect Mentality Built into Every Process

IATF 16949 is not an inspection of quality after the product is manufactured. It requires a change in mindset – from defect to defect prevention. This means that control plans are based on all potential failure modes before manufacturing the first busbar. The statistical process control is employed during production for dimensional accuracy, flatness, surface finish and adhesion of the plating process in real time. The system will automatically adjusts if the parameter goes beyond the set value (out of specification). This way, you'll get all identical buses to your samples. With a precision of 1 micron or less for one-off geometry, Kinto's high precision machines also ensure the highest level of tolerance. We have a tolerance control system approved by an international company IATF, which guarantees that there exists no tolerance variation for a million or more parts.

Complete Traceability for Battery Safety Requirements

EV battery manufacturers have to meet strict customer and safety standards for traceability of components. IATF 16949 specifies a tracing system starting from the raw materials lot to all the stages of production, quality control and shipping records. A factory certified for the field, can back trace to the original copper or aluminum coil, specific plating batch, the parameters used for the cutting and the operator workstation in the event of a field issue. This is of significance for either the potential recall or failure analysis. Kinto's quality policy enables it to keep comprehensive records of every busbar shipment, allowing assurance that each product is completely traceable to the highest level of accountability.

Lower Total Cost through Supply Chain Integration

An IATF 16949 factory can help you to reduce the cost of doing business. It's also recognized by automotive manufacturers around the globe; therefore, are no duplicate quality system audits incurred. The certified facility is already capable of production planning, reduction of manufacturing time, supply chain management and continuous improvement. This leads to less rework, shorter production times, early time-to-market, and internal quality assurance cost savings for your EV battery programme. We're known for our dedication to quality and service. A system we have been certified to by IATF is created to suit your production programs to get rid of the secret costs of poor quality.

Proven Reliability for Real World EV Operating Conditions

EV battery busbars have stresses that vary from the majority of industrial parts. Heat is created when the current is high. Thermal expansion and contraction are results of rapid charging cycles. Mechanical joints are tested by continuous vibration due to road conditions. Skirties are hard to match with regard to corrosion resistance with moisture, coolants, and road salts. In particular, the automotive industry is very strict and the manufacturer must ensure the validation of processes, according to the requirements of IATF 16949. The required test frequencies are standard and environmental simulation/accelerated life test. The certification also has periodic checks for the evolving needs of the EV industry, ensuring the factory stays ahead of the curve. This self-discipline has paid off as Kinto has become an approved provider for many prestigious organisations. An IATF 16949 factory is a sound selection for an EV program that requires absolute reliability of busbar, but is truly a no-brainer if the program is successful.
