A punching machine (also known as a punch press) is a mechanical or hydraulic device used to cut, shape, or form material — usually metal sheets — by applying pressure with a punch tool through a die. It’s a fundamental machine in manufacturing, metal fabrication, and sheet metal processing.
🧩 Basic Principle
– The punching machine works by:
– Placing a sheet of material (e.g., steel, aluminum) on the worktable.
– A punch (the upper tool) moves downward with high force.
– The punch presses the sheet into a die (the lower tool).
– Material between the punch and die is sheared and removed — creating a hole or shape.
