Precision Metal Punching with EHRT Technology
Precision metal punching for copper and aluminium busbars, using advanced EHRT production technology.
EHRT Metal Punching Services
ILF Products provides metal punching for copper and aluminium busbars, electrical connectors and custom components from our Cannock, Staffordshire facility. Specifically, our EHRT punching technology produces accurate holes, slots and chamfers to match your drawings or samples, so every part arrives ready for the next stage of production.
What is Metal Punching?
Punching forms holes, slots and shaped cut-outs in metal components with a punch and die rather than a rotating cutting tool. Each feature is formed in one stroke, which makes the process fast and highly repeatable. It suits busbars and connectors where accuracy and clean production matter.

Why Choose ILF for Metal Punching?
EHRT punching is an efficient way to produce accurate holes, slots and shaped features in copper and aluminium components. The process sits within ILF Products’ wider manufacturing operation, so punched parts move directly into bending, cutting or finishing. Consequently, production stays consistent and you avoid the extra handling that comes with coordinating separate suppliers.
