The Process

High-Volume Efficiency with CNC Turret Punching

CNC turret punching is a sheet metal fabrication process where a machine-controlled punch and die set rapidly creates holes, shapes, and forms in flat sheet metal. A rotating turret holds dozens of tool stations, enabling the machine to switch between different shapes in milliseconds without manual intervention.

For high-volume production, perforated designs, and parts requiring internal forms, CNC punching is vastly faster and more cost-effective than laser cutting. At BSG, we combine high-speed CNC technology with a massive tooling library to deliver complex sheet metal components with unmatched speed and accuracy.
