CNC Turret Punch Press

A CNC Turret Punch Press is ideal for short to medium production runs. This piece of equipment is a great option in process selection, compared to building hard tooling and stamping parts with a standard punch press. The absence of tool building time, manual labor, and the flexibility to make changes to the design, with minimized consequences, make the CNC Turret Press and easy choice for lower volume requirements.

Each Turret Press has a CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) panel that is used for programming. It’s possible to upload a customer’s electronic CAD file directly into a turret program, and with minimal editing, Dayton Rogers can be running parts that same day. Today, some Turret Punch Presses can stock nearly 75 standard tools, in their tooling magazine. These tools are great for basic punching, piercing, nibbling, embossing, slotting and recessing, louvering, coining, countersinks, and forming tabs and ribs. In addition, special tooling can be purchased to accomplish even more desired results. Contact the Dayton Rogers Process Engineering Dept. to learn more.

Most CNC Turret Presses can accommodate sheets of metal up to 5’ x 12’, and can run at speeds up to 1,200 hits/min. Depending on the metal being processed; 1/4 inch is about the maximum thickness of the sheet that can be punched on a Turret Press. For thicker metal requirements, Dayton Rogers would suggest a CNC Laser be used for cutting.

Over the life of the project, there usually comes a point in which the CNC Turret Punch Press is not the optimal process for the job. This usually occurs when part quantities reach the 1,000’s, or the design becomes more complicated, with highly irregular contours or large holes, that would require long machine operating times for the CNC Turret Press. At this point, Dayton Rogers would suggest an investment in Modular or Progressive Tooling.
