Used CNC Punches

CNC punches or CNC punch presses form shapes in blank sheet metal by punching the material with a profiled punch die. Unlike a CNC laser or plasma machine, which is faster at cutting larger complex shapes, a CNC punch is faster at cutting smaller shapes from a uniquely shaped punch die. This feature in conjunction with a turret-style head and multi-sheet handling automation systems further opens up the door for mass-producing parts at very quick speeds. The Equipment Hub supplies several used CNC punches from such brands as Amada, Trumpf, and Strippit.

    The Different Types of CNC Punches

    Computer Numerical Control (CNC) punching is a versatile manufacturing process that involves the use of computer-controlled machines to create precise cuts and holes in sheet metal. CNC punches come in a variety of types, each with its unique features and capabilities. In this essay, we will explore the different types of CNC punches and their applications.

    Turret Punch Presses

    Turret punch presses are the most common type of CNC punch machines. They are designed to punch holes and cut shapes in sheet metal by using a rotating turret with a range of tooling options. The turret can hold several punches and dies, allowing for quick tool changes and increased flexibility in punching patterns.

    Turret punch presses are capable of punching holes in various sizes and shapes, including round, square, oblong, and rectangular. They can also be used to create more complex shapes such as notches, louvers, and curves. Turret punch presses are suitable for a wide range of applications, including electrical enclosures, automotive parts, and air conditioning components.

    Single Station Punch Presses

    Single station punch presses are CNC punch machines that are designed for small to medium-sized production runs. They are typically used to punch holes and cut shapes in thin sheet metal, up to 1/4 inch in thickness. Single station punch presses have a single punch and die set and require manual tool changes.

    Single station punch presses are less expensive than turret punch presses and are suitable for small production runs. They are commonly used in job shops, where there is a need for quick turnaround times and high accuracy. They are also used in prototyping and research and development projects.

    Multi-Tool Punch Presses

    Multi-tool punch presses are CNC punch machines that are designed for high-volume production runs. They are capable of punching and cutting a wide range of shapes and sizes in sheet metal. Multi-tool punch presses have multiple punch and die sets, which are automatically changed during the punching process.

    Multi-tool punch presses are ideal for high-volume production runs, where there is a need for quick tool changes and minimal downtime. They are commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, and appliance industries. Multi-tool punch presses are also used in the production of electrical enclosures, lighting fixtures, and HVAC components.

    Combination Punch-Laser Machines

    Combination punch-laser machines are CNC punch machines that combine the capabilities of both punching and laser cutting. They are designed to punch holes and cut shapes in sheet metal using a combination of punching and laser cutting technologies.

    Combination punch-laser machines are capable of punching and laser cutting complex shapes in a single operation, reducing production times and increasing efficiency. They are commonly used in the production of automotive parts, aerospace components, and electronic enclosures.
