Built for Power & Transformer Manufacturing.
Transformer tank plates, switchgear cabinets, NEMA-rated enclosures, copper bus bars. Piranha equipment runs on the line at North America's transformer and electrical equipment manufacturers — engineered for the spec-driven, code-driven work that defines this industry.
Why Piranha
Why Power & Transformer Manufacturers Choose Piranha
Three reasons transformer OEMs, switchgear builders, and enclosure fabricators run Piranha on their lines.
Spec-Driven Precision
Repeatable hole positioning, clean cut edges, and traceability for NEMA- and UL-relevant builds. Fiber LASER for sheet metal precision, HD plasma for thicker plate, press brake for clean enclosure forming.
Service That Shows Up
When a press brake stops mid-run, you don't have time for a ticket queue. Piranha service is U.S.-based — phone support that answers, in-stock parts shipped same-day from Belvidere, IL, and PM programs scaled to your shift schedule.
One Source for the Whole Line
LASER, press brake, Whitney Combo, plate roll, shear, ironworker — every machine from one manufacturer, with one quote, one install team, and one parts catalog.

How Piranha Speeds Up Your Line
Four ways Piranha equipment changes the math on transformer and electrical manufacturing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from transformer OEMs, switchgear builders, and electrical enclosure fabricators.
Can the Flex Series LASER cut copper bus bar stock?
Yes. Piranha Flex Series LASERs cut copper and aluminum bus bar materials as well as mild steel and stainless. Same machine, same operator, switch material and go — useful for shops running mixed copper bus bar and aluminum enclosure work.
What plate thickness can the LASER handle for transformer tank work?
Depends on power level — 3kW Flex Series handles standard transformer sheet and light plate; 12kW–20kW configurations handle heavier tank plate and substation-scale work. A Piranha specialist will scope the right power level for your part mix.
How does the press brake handle thin aluminum vs. heavier steel pans?
Press brakes are configured for your material mix. Tooling and tonnage are scoped per application — light aluminum sheet for enclosure pans and heavier steel for switchgear cabinets can run on the same machine with the right tooling setup.
What about traceability and spec compliance?
Piranha equipment produces repeatable, documented cut quality — useful for shops working to NEMA, UL, or customer drawing tolerances. Cut quality records and tooling traceability are supported by the CNC controls.
What training and support comes with the equipment?
Every machine ships with installation support, a video tutorial library, comprehensive operations manuals, remote desktop support, and lifetime phone support from the U.S.-based technical team. On-site application engineering coordinates with your plant team through install.
Do you offer financing for capital equipment?
Yes. Piranha offers flexible financing options for capital equipment purchases — useful for managing transformer and enclosure line investments across multiple machine orders.
Can the same line handle transformer + switchgear + enclosure parts mix?
Yes — that's exactly the mixed-product reality Piranha equipment is built for. The same LASER + press brake + Whitney Combo line runs transformer cover plates one shift and switchgear cabinets the next.
Does Piranha support multi-shift production lines?
Yes. LASER automation handles material loading and unloading across shifts, PM programs are scaled to your shift schedule, and parts inventory is sized for high-utilization production environments.
