TRUMPF Trumatic 200 CNC Turret Punch.

Choose the punch when the part has integral formed features (louvres, embosses, lance-and-form mounts, countersinks) or when the production volume justifies the throughput advantage — punching is dramatically faster on perforated patterns. Choose the laser when the part is a one-off, has tight contours, or needs the cleanest possible cut edge. Most jobs use both; the punch handles the formed features and the laser cuts the perimeter on the same blank.

Round / square / rectangular holes, slots, louvres, countersinks, dimples, lance-and-form mounting tabs, hat-section forms, and embosses for stiffening. Tooling library covers the standard TRUMPF turret stations; custom tooling available on dedicated production runs.

Up to 265 strokes per minute on simple punching patterns. Real-world throughput depends on tool changes, sheet handling, and feature complexity — a typical perforated panel runs in 30-60 seconds per part on production runs. For 5,000+ unit volumes the punch consistently beats laser cycle time by 3-5×.

Punched-hole positional tolerance is ±0.005" on first article, ±0.010" typical across production runs. The laser holds slightly tighter (±0.005" repeatable), but for hole patterns where positional consistency across thousands of identical features matters more than absolute precision, the punch wins.

Yes — that's the typical workflow. The punch handles the formed features and high-density hole patterns; the laser handles the precision perimeter cut. The same blank moves between machines on the same routing slip.

80″ × 50″ effective working area on the bed. Larger sheets can be processed in two setups with positional indexing. For sheets within the bed envelope, the punch handles the entire pattern in a single program.
