High Speed CNC Punching for Medium to Large Volume Production

 

CNC Punching is not just a fast and cost effective method of creating holes in sheet metal for medium to high volume production batches.  Our TruPunch 3000 S11 can do much more.

The punching process forces a steel punch through the material into a die thereby creating the cut-out.  A nibbling process can also be used where the punched holes overlap leaving cut-outs and profiles in multiple shapes.

Our S11 has a 17 fully indexible tool stations, all of which can be fitted with multi tool stations. Potentially holding up to a massive 170x tools, capable of punching 8.5x per second.

Along with a superior hit rate, the S11 can tap holes, put in 90 degree folds, create complex joggle folds, de-burr, chute completed parts into the parts bin, countersink, counterbore, emboss part numbers and much more. And with fitted sheet loader/unloader, all this can be run over night with lights out production.

Tooling

Falcon have an extensive stock of punch tooling including:

  • standard cut-outs
  • countersinks
  • tapping
  • joggle folding
  • 90 degree folding
  • character embossing
  • eko knockout

Using Radan® design and manufacture software we can maximise sheet utilisation and further reduce cost by automatically nesting punch jobs onto one sheet.

Our maximum sheet size is 2500mm x 1250mm, and we can punch in a range of materials up to the following thickness:

Material Thickness
Mild Steel Up to 4mm
Stainless Steel Up to 3mm
Aluminium Up to 6mm
Copper Up to 3mm
Brass Up to 4mm
Plastic Up to 6mm dependent on material type
