Why Choose Sheet Metal Punching?

CNC punching involves specialist compute numerical control punch presses to create custom slots, holes, 3D forms, perforations and contour cuts. Compared to laser cutting which is more suitable for cutting intricate contours on thick metal sheets, CNC punching is more ideal for fabrication projects requiring identical loubres and threading or tapping holes on thin to medium-thick sheets. It also eliminates the need for secondary forming operations like drilling holes, threading, tapping and deburring.

CNC punching is a high-production, cost-effective and energy-efficient metal fabrication process that produces consistently high-quality geometric cutouts across a variety of materials. General applications that we can create include electrical enclosures, HVAC enclosures and vending machines.

Our CNC punching capabilities

Across our 60,000 sq ft manufacturing facilities, we use a range of CNC punching machinery to produce accurate holes, notches, louvres and shapes in metal sheets, ensuring optimal design flexibility. Our Amanda EMZ3610 CNC Turret Punch and Amanda Europe 258 Punch bring versatility to our capabilities. With automated punching, this technology allows us to elevate your projects with precision and efficiency, delivering results that exceed expectations.

Precise louvres

The turret punch excels in creating louvres with precision, whether it’s standard designs or intricate custom patterns.

Efficient threading and tapping

The turrent punch efficiently creates threading and tapping holes, saving time whilst maintaining the integrity of your designs.

Versatile forming

Beyond standard cutting, our CNC turrent punch is equipped for versatile forming, offering flexibility in creating various 3D forms for your projects.

We are capable of CNC punching metal sheets of several materials to maximum lengths of 3050mm (L) x 1500mm (w) with thicknesses of up to 3mm, including:

  • Mild steel: up to 3mm thick
  • Aluminium: up to 3mm thick
  • Stainless steel: up to 2.5mm thick
