Best-selling busbar cutting machine in Egypt: MX602K-8C

As the Egyptian government accelerates the implementation of the “Vision 2030” strategy, the country continues to increase investment in power infrastructure, renewable energy and manufacturing upgrades. Against this background, the MX602K-8C CNC busbar punching and shearing machine developed by MAC has become a star product in Egypt’s power equipment manufacturing field with its advantages of intelligence, high precision and localized adaptation. In the first quarter of 2025, exports to Egypt increased by 230% year-on-year, setting a new sales record for China’s high-end CNC busbar processing equipment in the African market.

Egypt is becoming the third largest electricity market in Africa with an average annual growth rate of 6% in electricity demand. The government plans to achieve 99% national electricity coverage by 2030 and invest billions of dollars to upgrade the power grid system. The copper and aluminum busbars processed by the MX602K-8C CNC busbar machine are the core conductors of high-voltage switchgear, transformers, and energy storage equipment. The demand has surged with the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission lines. For example, the Egypt-Saudi Arabia interconnection power grid project (to be put into operation in 2026) requires a 3,000-megawatt transmission capacity, and this project alone requires the processing of more than 2,000 kilometers of high-precision busbars.

The Egyptian government plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy power generation to 42% by 2035, and major projects such as the Benban solar farm and the Red Sea wind, solar and storage integration have been launched intensively. MAC’s independently developed MES system is embedded with the “intelligent waste material management” program module. By optimizing the cutting path, the MX602K-8C busbar machine can reduce the copper bar waste rate to 0.3%, which meets the precision processing requirements of photovoltaic components and energy storage pack modules. It is estimated that each 500MW photovoltaic power station needs to process more than 50 tons of copper busbars, and the equipment efficiency directly affects the project delivery cycle.

Egyptian local enterprises have long relied on manual punching and shearing equipment, with a processing error of ±1mm, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of emerging fields such as automobile manufacturing and data centers. The ±0.2mm positioning accuracy and 8-punch 1-shear inline mold library design of MX602K-8C increase the processing efficiency of switchgear busbars by 40%, helping Egyptian aluminum and other enterprises break through the technical barriers of EU CE certification.

In response to the unstable power supply in Egypt, the MX602K-8C CNC busbar processing machine uses a Swiss ABB wide-frequency motor and is equipped with an adaptive hydraulic system to maintain processing accuracy when the voltage fluctuates by ±15%. Its busbar processing auxiliary design system (Software Registration No. 0846702) has a built-in 3D programmable interface that can automatically generate processing paths that meet the Egyptian power standards (EOS 1105/2015).

The equipment uses a nine-position inline mold library, which supports fast switching between eight standard hole molds and one cutting mold. Egyptian technical workers can operate it independently after eight hours of training. Compared with similar equipment in Germany, the mold replacement time is shortened from 15 minutes to three minutes, significantly improving the production line flexibility of small and medium-sized distribution box manufacturers.

The wear resistance of the ductile iron mold frame of the MX602K-8C is three times higher than that of ordinary castings. Combined with the dynamic compensation algorithm, the mold life is extended to 500,000 stampings. The Egyptian National Electricity Company calculated that the five-year comprehensive operation and maintenance cost of the equipment is 37% lower than that of the Japanese model, and the investment payback period is shortened to 14 months.

The MAC technical team fully considers the needs of customers of different sizes in the local Egyptian market, splits the design of 3D programmable management software, MES and WMS, and adds firewall design from design to production to ensure the accurate operation of each link. If you are a small or medium-sized high and low voltage switchgear or pad manufacturer, the current project budget is limited, and the equipment only needs to be equipped with 3D programmable management software and MES system. If you upgrade the busbar processing production line in the future and add automated busbar warehouse management, you only need to expand the WMS system.

In the Egyptian Aluminum High Voltage Switchgear Project, the company used 3 MX602K-8C busbar punching and shearing machines and 3 NC.40ZB-1200 CNC busbar bending machine to form a digital busbar workshop. The processing accuracy reached the IEC 62271-200 standard, and successfully won the 345kV GIS switchgear supply contract for the Saudi-Egypt Interconnection Power Grid, with a single order amount of more than 18 million US dollars.

As Egypt accelerates its progress towards becoming a regional power hub, the hot sales of the MX602K-8C CNC母線機 not only demonstrates the technological strength of China’s smart manufacturing, but also becomes a new benchmark for China-Egypt capacity cooperation. This equipment is writing an industrial upgrading story of “precision changes manufacturing, intelligence defines the future” on the banks of the Nile.
