Aluminium chassis components
CNC punching thousands of holes quickly with a cluster tool
These aluminium chassis components are used in electrical test equipment and are typical of the sheet metal work that we manufacture for many of our customers in the UK using CNC punching and CNC bending equipment. This batch of 25 components were then sent out to be Iridite NCP treated and then black spatter painted to our customers drawings.
Thousands of holes punched with cluster tools
When you want to produce potentially 1000’s of holes quickly and accurately in sheet metal components the best solution is to use cluster tools. These CNC punch press tools are single tools with many individual punched and dies in set patterns. On our Trumpf 3000R CNC punch press we can punch approximately 75 holes per second with our most productive tools that were used to produce this vent pattern here. We can produce complex parts with laser cut profiles and cluster punched holes patterns as a hybrid between two machines when needed bring the best strengths of each machine to a single sheet metal component.
