CNC punching sheet metal products
CNC punching sheet metal products from a wide range of materials is a common practice for V and F Sheet Metal. We have the tooling to cope with products from 0.5mm thick aluminium electronics panels, 0.7mm Zintec brackets, 1mm mild steel trays, 1.5mm stainless steel housings, 2.0mm copper electrical connectors, 3mm galvanised steel clamping brackets and up to 5mm aluminium spreader plates. Having 2 Trumpf CNC punch presses using common tooling allows us to be very flexible when it comes to production. Jobs can be swapped around to suit customer requirements. If a machine is being serviced work can be swapped to another to keep production going.

We have the same ethos when it comes to CNC bending with 4 machines sharing the same tooling. This allows us to run a large batch of parts across several machines at once if needed.
Although our Trumpf fibre laser cutter can be used to produce more complex profiles the CNC punch presses have other strengths. When it comes to producing sheet metal products with forms such as dimples, plunged and tapped threads, ventilations louvres, earth tags, formed CSKs etc there are no better machines in our opinion. To get a better picture of the standard tooling we have that you can use on your sheet metal designs just take a look at our tooling libraries.
Having been CNC punching sheet metal products for over 30 years we have a wide range of examples to see on our website and Pinterest Boards. They are a great place to start when looking for ideas for a new project.
If you already have a good idea what you want and need no help simply send us your drawings (sales@vandf.co.uk) and our engineering team will be happy to help. We can produce a range of price options to suit your needs.
