CNC punching continues to play a vital part in high-performance sheet metal fabrication. With its speed, accuracy, and adaptability, this technology allows manufacturers to produce complex components efficiently and consistently. At DB Sheetmetals, we’ve invested in the latest CNC punching capabilities to ensure our clients benefit from precision-driven production at every stage.
CNC punching, short for computer numerically controlled punching, uses programmed instructions to manage a series of tools within a single automated system. The process is ideal for creating detailed patterns, slots, and forms in sheet metal, offering flexibility across a wide range of project specifications. Unlike earlier NC systems, today’s CNC machines are faster and more intelligent, making them a go-to solution for custom fabrication.
Our workshop in Suffolk is home to the EM MII Series, Amada’s latest generation of electric punch machines. This equipment is designed to reduce tool setup time and minimise human error, all while delivering excellent repeatability. With the Z turret’s innovative design, which accommodates upper and lower discs of varying diameters, production is not only faster but also more reliable. The machine’s ability to punch 5’ by 10’ sheets without repositioning adds to its efficiency, particularly for large-scale orders.
CNC punching also offers a safer and cleaner environment for operators. The automation removes the need for close contact with moving tools, which adds a layer of safety while maintaining output. And once a digital design has been programmed, it can be stored and reused for future runs, making it a cost-effective option for clients who require consistent reproduction of parts.
