CNC punching aluminium sheet metal panels using our Trumpf 3000 machine
If you are looking for aluminium sheet metal panels and you want tapped holes, CNC punching can be an idea solution. By incorporating the speed of CNC punching and a tapping head in one machine a very price competitive part can be produced. Parts produced in this fashion have no swarf as we us flutless forming taps. This enables us to process the parts at speed and with a reduced risk of scratches.

The panels look white due to the protective film that is supplied with the aluminium sheet. This protective film can be left in place or removed if finishing or treatment processes such as anodising are required.

As well as tapping threads it’s easy to mix several different parts on the same sheet. This CNC punching nest has 2 parts that can easy be seen here. There is also a good example of common line cutting on both parts.
