Sheet Metal Punching

In 1974, Columbus Engineering Inc. added our first turret press which allowed us to focus on becoming a precision sheet metal fabricator.  We have embraced its capabilities and applied them directly to building our current business.  Columbus Engineering Inc. currently uses three turret punch presses in everyday production.  All three of our turrets are fitted with an MP1225 NJ single shelf automated load/unload cell for added capacity and lights out operation. (See Automation)

While often considered limited in versatility compared to a laser, turret punch presses have capabilities in certain applications unmatched by lasers.  High volume runs are a perfect fit for a turret punch press.   Using a combination of different punch geometries, nearly any shape can be reproduced on a turret punch quicker than on lasers.
