Sheet Metal Work Suppliers
CNC punching sheet metal brackets
Here we have our Trumpf 200 CNC punch press punching out a thin gauge zinc coated mild steel (zintec) sheet metal bracket with many others from the same 2M x 1M sheet. You can see that the brackets has been spaced 5mm apart so that a standard slitting tool could CNC punch along the left hand and right hand of 2 parts at the same time, a technique known as common line cutting. This simple but effective technique helps us supply sheet metal blanks from the CNC punch press quicker and saves money when quoting for the parts.
This project was interesting in that we started producing the brackets on our Trumpf 3030 fibre laser and when we had other urgent jobs we simply swapped it to our Trumpf 200 CNC punch press which was more than capable of producing the parts.
