At the core of APT Metal Fabricators capability is a process referred to as CNC Turret Punching. With very few limitations, your complex parts can be produced with relatively high accuracy and repeatability. CNC Turret Punching accomplishes custom shapes by selectively removing material from sheet metal blanks. These blanks are secured to the machine bed (or table) which will move to as many positions in the X-Y axis as its programmed to do.
Once programmed and fully set up, the CNC Turret Punching machine will produce the desired pre-programmed shapes by automatically selecting and changing the appropriate tooling and for each feature. Furthermore, the CNC Turret Punching machine's ability to hold numerous tools allows a process that would normally take multiple secondary operations to all be performed in a single cycle; thus providing for increased accuracy, repeatability, lower overall cost, and decreased production time.
A few of the many features that a CNC Turret Punching press offers are:
Because we're mindful of your bottom-line, APT Metal Fabricators employs experienced programmers and a seasoned staff; thus, you can count on cost savings from the onset of your production or prototype runs. Offline programming and debugging are essential to our speedy changeover process.
