Busbar machining

Fast, precise, ergonomic bending, punching and cutting of copper and aluminum busbars.

HoleCut Professional HC 60 / HC 80

The HoleCut Professional line is built for high-volume bar processing and offers shops excellent durability, fast tool changes, and edge-to-edge precision for panel and switchgear manufacturers. Both models integrate PunchPro nesting and Beckhoff PLC control for optimized throughput, lower scrap, and simplified maintenance.

Three-Shift Punching Is Easier than Ever

HoleCut Professional HC 60 Busbar Punching Machine

High-Volume CNC Busbar Punching

Built for heavy production, the HoleCut Professional HC 60 delivers robust, high-speed CNC punching for copper, aluminum, and steel busbar, making it a perfect choice for panel shops and manufacturers running three-shift operations who need precision, high throughput, and minimal downtime. 

Features
