CNC Punching

A Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Punch Press is ideal for small or large run sheet metal components. It can be a great alternative to building hard tooling and stamping parts with a standard press. By eliminating the need to build tools and perform manual labour, the CNC Punch Press can save time and money. The CNC Punch Press also offers flexibility to make design changes with fewer consequences. Constant Manufacturing by utilising TRUMPF CNC punch presses also benefits from low cost tool set ups and cost effective running costs. Twinned with automation to load and un-load both raw material and waste material TRUMPF CNC Punching services can really benefit bottom line part costs, especially considering our ability to run unmanned production “lights out”. Making the correct machine choice for both quality and cost considerations is and area where the experienced staff at Constant Manufacturing can help.

Constant Manufacturing’s CNC Punch presses are capable of producing the following operations

  • Piercing
  • Nibbling
  • Embossing
  • Extruding
  • Slotting and recessing
  • Louvering
  • Coining
  • Countersinks
  • Forming tabs
  • Creating ribs
  • Creating hinges
  • Specialised tooling can be purchased if needed

 

Constant Manufacturing’s present sheet metal punching facility consists of one TRUMPF 5000 and one T200. The TRUMPF 5000 is linked to a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC). STOPA storage towers service the TRUMPF 5000 by feeding it with raw material.

The CNC punching facility can store up to 70 tonnes of a range of materials. The facility makes fully unmanned production a reality and increases the efficiency of the punching machine dramatically over a conventionally loaded manual punching machine.
