CNC Turret Punch
Overview
A CNC turret punch press machine pushes a piece of metal around to easily create numerous holes in a variety of different diameters. A typical punch may have up to 60 tools: holes of varying sizes, straight edges, commonly-used notches or mounting holes. These tools are all located in a turret that can be rotated to the punching position. A punch is less flexible than a laser for cutting compound shapes, but faster for repetitive shapes.

Background
CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control
These machines use pre-programmed computer software to dictate its movement and usually acts by removing material
Software
A Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) process first converts the Computer-aided Design (CAD). Softwares such as Radan may be used or you may manually type in CNC codes. The turret punch will require a clean DXF file.
