Cost Optimization
Replacing outside arcs such as rounded corners with chamfered corners
Reducing the number of different hole sizes
Minimizing use of complex curves
Use of hole sizes corresponding to stock tooling
Requesting custom tooling for high volume runs
Advantages
Turret punching is a cost effective method for cutting sheet metal in moderate to long runs. Edges are usually very good due to the shearing action.
Shapes

Example applications include:
Custom Enclosures, Custom Metal Brackets, Custom Robot Parts, Custom washers, Custom wrenches, Custom Front Panels, Custom Sheet Metal Boxes, Custom Motorcycle Parts, Custom Auto Parts, Custom Toy Parts, mechanisms and chassis.
