Understanding Electrical Knockouts
What Are Electrical Knockouts? They are standardized, pre-punched openings designed to remain securely in place during shipping, handling, and painting. Our tooling is specifically engineered to create Double Tabs, which provide superior slug retention until an electrician is ready to "knock them out" for installation. This ensures your enclosures maintain a professional look and structural integrity right up until the point of use.
Optimizing the Press Brake for Knockouts
By moving your knockout production to a press brake, you eliminate the inconsistency of manual sets. Our die sets feature integrated stripping mechanisms, which ensure the formed workpiece is released smoothly after every hit. This prevents material distortion and maintains a rapid production cadence.

| Hole Configurations | Single & Concentric (Double-Round) |
| Slug Retention | Precision-Engineered Single/Double Tabs |

Custom Ordering Specifications
At Punch Tools, we design our knockout units to meet your exact project requirements. To ensure the highest level of accuracy for your single or double knockout tooling, please provide a technical drawing that specifies:
- Specific Knockout Diameters: Exact measurements for all inner and outer rings.
- Material Gauge: The precise thickness of the material being processed.
- Tab Configuration: Preferred number of tabs (one, two, or custom) for slug retention.
