We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Punch Press",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC laser cutter can up output by 50% from
Bystronic UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A powerful 5.2kW laser cutting/profiling system, when fitted with an automatic load/unload system, can increase by up to 50% with typically only an extra machine investment of 20%".
The day before,
we featured the news release Quieter CNC turret punch press is faster too from
Press and Shear Machinery: "A servo-electric, 200kN turret punch press has a sheet metal nibbling speed of 800 hits/min at 1mm pitch as well as having lower maintenance costs".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Trumpf
concerning its TruLaser 3530 2D laser cutting system
- take a look at CNC laser profiling system works 'lights out'
which says: "Sheet metal working subcontractor has added a fifth CNC laser profiling machine with better cutting speeds and sheet loading systems and providing extra flexibility".
Take a look also at the news release from Safan, Press brake operates without crowning,
as well as High-precision laser cuts more productively from Fanuc GE CNC UK,
and CAM chosen for auto-load/unload CNC punch press from Jetcam International.
