General Process
Turret Press is a punching process that supports periphery cutting and hole making for thin (< 10mm) sheet metal. This operation is very slow when cutting thick material. Turret presses are CNC controlled and can be driven mechanically, hydraulically, or with a combination of both. Turret machines are generally large, as they can handle large stock sheets (at least 4' x 8') of metal.
Bend Brake is a sheet metal process used after cutting to create straight or simple curved bends. Bend-brakes can be hand operated or driven (hydraulically or mechanically). This operation cannot form bend radii less than the thickness of the material.
If you have licensed the appropriate modules, your routing can include optional heat treatment, surface treatment, and packaging processes.
