CNC Turret Punching Brisbane
Overview
Our Finn Power Shear Genius is not your average turret-punching machine. In addition to the turret punch, the “Finn” has an integrated right-angle shear and automated loading.
From loading through to punching and sorting, your sheet metal is processed quickly, accurately and economically.
The Finn also does “skeleton-free” processing by automatically sorting the finished parts and remaining scrap into separate unloading bins, with no skeleton waste left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CNC turret punch machine?
The smaller, manually operated machines only work on smaller or thinner sheets of metal. The CNC (computerised) turret machines are more common in industrial settings and are used on larger and thicker pieces of sheet metal.
What does CNC stand for?
CNC turret punching services offer greater precision and consistency. Likewise, they can be fully automated, leading to benefits including faster assembly speeds, lower production costs, and reduced waste and energy consumption.
How do the different components of the machine work?
Then, hydraulic or pneumatic power is used to force the punch down into the sheet metal to create a hole or form. Below this, the die keeps the metal in place. By the end of this process, the machine has produced the completed sheet metal parts as well as scrap metal parts, which may be reused, recycled, or thrown away.
Benefits of CNC Punching
Versatility
Our advanced CNC machinery and extensive tooling library allow us to fulfil a range of production requirements and preferences. We work with materials including mild or stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass – and our range of tools can create holes or forms of varying sizes, shapes and finishes.
Speed and Efficiency
If you have a high-volume custom job or simply need the work done fast, we’ve got you covered. With multiple pre-made configurations and tools, the ability to change tools quickly, and the capacity to run multiple jobs at once, machines like the Finn are perfect for sophisticated, high-speed processing.
Precision and Quality
CNC machines are also known for their precision and accuracy. The advanced computerised controls guarantee a high-quality finish every time, even for jobs with complex or continually changing requirements. In addition, they reduce waste and ensure more efficient use of materials.
How It Works
1. CNC Programming
Computer programming helps us ensure the position and movement of the sheet metal are perfectly aligned to our needs.
2. Loading
First, a piece of sheet metal is correctly positioned on what we call the worktable. This worktable keeps the sheet metal secured and aligned with the machinery.
3. Punching and Shearing
Punching involves several components, including a turret, punch, and die. Once a sheet is loaded, the turret moves the correct punch and die into position. The punch, a hard piece of metal, is then forced into the sheet to create a hole or shape. Below this, the die keeps the sheet in place and ensures clean cuts.
4. Sorting
The finished components are now ready for any further processing required, including welding, bending, or powder coating.
