By considering tool usage and other machine factors in CNC punching applications, fabricators can add to the efficiencies delivered by nesting software. CNC punching machines offer unique advantages over other cutting and forming processes for sheet metal, from adding forms to punching multiple holes as a set pattern in a single hit. Often, manufacturers employ CNC punching machines in addition to laser, waterjet and other cutting machines to provide for increased flexibility, capability and productivity. Combination punch/laser machines also get the nod in many fabricating operations. The point here: CNC punching machines pack a powerful punch in the arsenals of successful sheet metal formers and fabricators.
