History of Turret Punching

Metal fabrication shops have been utilizing turret punching since the 1950s. The process entails using a specially designed press that can punch holes into sheet metal more quickly and efficiently than a conventional press. Turret punching is an excellent fit for any company looking for the flexibility to increase or decrease the size of their production runs and have more design versatility. It can also deliver the short turnaround times companies need to improve customer service and gain a competitive edge.

During the metal fabrication process, expert technicians create pre-made parts for assembly out of raw metals. Fabrication usually happens in a dedicated facility before it goes to an assembly plant. The process of metal fabrication involves multiple techniques that shape and connect materials into a part. In addition to foundational methods such as cutting and folding, professionals use the below approaches.
