Precision Turret Punching Services for Complex Sheet Metal Parts
Combine decades of experience with advanced turret punching technology to get efficient, high-quality results for sheet metal components. Our turret punching services allow for intricate forms, fast cycle times, and reduced costs while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent quality.
Our Turret Punching Machines and Tools
Turret punches deliver versatility, precision, and efficiency at minimal tooling costs, making them ideal for parts with intricate 3D features such as extrusions, hinges, and countersinks.
Turret Punching Machines
Our turret punching equipment gives you the flexibility to produce detailed features and forms quickly and repeatably. With multi-station, auto-indexing turrets, we can perform multiple operations in a single cycle.
Strippit V-30-1525: Equipped with 48 stations and 4 auto-index stations, this machine excels in mechanical forming and tapping.
Strippit F/C 1000 M/30: Features 40 stations and 3 auto-index stations for versatile punching capabilities.
Strippit 1250 MXP: Available in two configurations with 40 stations and either 2 or 3 auto-index stations, suitable for complex tasks.
Turret Punch Tools
Our extensive tooling library allows us to handle a wide range of tasks with precision and efficiency. With many tools already in stock, we can often get your project moving quickly and save you money by avoiding the need for custom tooling.
Standard Tools: Including Corner Radius, Counter Sink Up & Down, Double D, and more.
Special Tools: Special Radius Tools, Special Shapes, and Knockout options.
Advantages of Turret Punching with 3D Features
Turret punching excels at creating 3D features like extrusions, hinges, knockouts, taps, and countersinks in a single operation. It also enables the addition of geometries for part marking, cable routing, and component location—all crucial elements in complex part design. By automating these processes with CNC equipment, you can significantly boost speed, quality, and cost-efficiency:
Faster Production: Features such as threaded holes are integrated directly into the punch, reducing time.
Higher Quality: Precision punching delivers accurate, consistent 3D features.
Lower Costs: Removing secondary operations reduces labor and material handling costs.
While lasers are ideal for cutting, turret punching shines for adding intricate 3D features, improving assembly speed, and reducing production costs.

FAQs: Turret Punching Services Explained
-
Laser cutting excels at complex, continuous contours, while turret punching is better for repetitive patterns and forming 3D features. For many projects, HPM uses both methods strategically.
-
We typically punch up to 0.134” (10 gauge) in steel, 0.125” in aluminum, and 0.060” in stainless, depending on feature geometry and tooling.
-
Yes, we frequently integrate punching with laser cutting, forming, welding, and assembly within a single production workflow.
-
Avoid sharp internal corners and allow for common punch tool radii. Use consistent hole sizes where possible to reduce tool changes and cycle time. Our engineers can help review your prints for manufacturability.
-
We work with DXF, DWG, STEP, and SolidWorks files, and can assist with print review or tolerance recommendations during quoting.
