Manufacturing process
- Load sheet metal strips into press machines in the press shop to form components like housing, diaphragm, tone disc, and brackets.
- Send formed components to the paint shop for degreasing, zinc phosphating, powder coating, and curing in an oven at 220 degrees C.
- Wind electromagnetic coils on a dedicated coil winding line.
- Assemble painted components and wound coils sequentially along the assembly line with sensor-based poke-yoke error proofing.
- Test assembled electric horns for quality and performance before final packaging.
Market
Electric horns have consistent demand driven by automobile manufacturing, transport vehicle requirements, and the automotive aftermarket replacement sector.
