CNC Punch/Laser Combination

Manufacturing expertise at every stage

With extensive experience in sheet metal manufacture, our team of experts utilise the most appropriate and cost-effective methods for each product. The punch laser CNC machines at Unifabs combine the best features of a punch, with the flexibility of a laser to achieve outstanding performance.

One machine, two technologies, first-class efficiency

This technology enables us to punch, form, tap and laser cut all on one machine. For instance, a part with an intricate outside profile combined with raised punch forms within it can easily be produced on a punch laser CNC machine. First, it punches the internal forms, then switches the multi-tool turret to the laser head to create the outside profile.

This switch from punch to laser technology can be applied across a full nest of parts. To further maximise efficiency, the laser punch combination machines at Unifabs are coupled with automated load/offload cells, allowing lights-out manufacturing.

Advantages of a punch laser CNC machine  

This combination of technologies delivers an array of benefits. Eliminating secondary operations removes the requirement to program twice for one part. It reduces operator requirements since one machine performs the processes instead of two.

It also reduces production times because parts don’t need to be transferred to secondary processes. In addition, utilising a laser can eliminate the need for complex or custom punch tooling, keeping costs to a minimum.

All of these advantages translate to high-quality, lower-cost parts delivered to you faster. Our processing facilities are often the starting point for many jobs utilising our full range of manufacturing services.
