Metal Bending
Precision metal bending for copper, aluminium and specialist components, using advanced EHRT bending technology.
Metal Bending Services
ILF Ltd provides metal bending services for electrical, engineering and industrial applications.
Using modern EHRT bending machinery, we produce accurate and repeatable bends for copper and aluminium components, including busbars and custom metal parts.
What is Metal Bending?
Metal bending shapes material into the required angle, form or profile without removing metal.
It is commonly used to create busbars, electrical connectors, brackets, formed components and parts that need accurate fit and repeatable production.
