CNC Punching
Faster than laser
for high-hole-countsheet work.
Sysclad's Amada Apelio punch press handles perforated sheets, louvres, and formed profiles faster and more cost-effectively than laser cutting — with a punching area up to 1275 × 2525mm and sheet lengths up to 4m.

when to punch press
Quicker than laser for perforated sheet work.
When a sheet needs many holes — perforated panels, mesh patterns, ventilation grilles — punching is faster and more cost-effective than laser cutting, even with our high-speed laser. Each hole is struck in a single action, and the machine can run through dense perforation patterns at speed.
Punch pressing also does something laser cutting cannot: it forms three-dimensional profiles in the metal. Louvres, ribs, embosses, and flanges can all be formed in the same operation as the punching — reducing fabrication steps and cost.
benefits
What the Amada Apello delivers
Speed on high hole counts
Faster than laser for dense perforation patterns — each hole struck in a single action with no beam movement required.
Precision throughout
CAM-programmed to exact tolerances — consistent positioning across every hole on every sheet.
Formed profiles in one operation
Louvres, embosses, and flanges formed directly in the sheet during punching — no secondary forming step needed.
Cost-effective for volume
Lower cost per part on high-volume perforated work compared to laser — without compromising on quality or consistency.
Versatile material processing
CAM software enables complex, flexible processing across different materials and pattern configurations.
Production line integration
Integrated into our wider production line — punch-pressed components feed directly into forming, welding, and finishing.
