Overview

The Amada AE 2510 NT is a servo-electric CNC turret punch press in Amada’s current AE-NT production line, offering a 2,500 x 1,000 mm (98 x 39 in) working area for standard-format sheet processing. The AE-NT series represents the evolution of Amada’s proven EM-NT platform, delivering higher hit rates, improved energy efficiency, and the latest AMNC control platform in the medium-format turret punch category.

Maximum punching force is 200 kN (22.5 tons) from the AC servo drive, with hit rates exceeding 600 strokes per minute. The machine handles mild steel up to 6.35 mm (0.25 in) thick at full tonnage. Available with 45 or 51 station turrets with 4 auto-index positions, the AE 2510 NT provides ample tool capacity for mid-volume production work. Positioning accuracy is +/-0.05 mm with traverse speeds of 90 m/min.

The servo-electric drive eliminates the hydraulic power supply and chiller entirely, reducing electrical consumption to less than half of comparable hydraulic machines. Combined with the brush table design for scratch-free processing and the power vacuum slug pull system for clean operation, the AE 2510 NT is designed for modern, efficient fabrication environments.

The machine runs on Amada’s PC-based NT control with touchscreen interface, tool management software, and network connectivity. New AE 2510 NT machines price between $250,000 and $380,000 depending on tooling and automation options. The machine competes directly with the Trumpf TruPunch 2000, Murata Wiedemann Motorum 2558, and Prima Power Punch Genius in the mid-format servo punch press market.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Servo-electric drive eliminates hydraulic system entirely -- less than half the power consumption of hydraulic alternatives
600+ strokes/min hit rate is competitive for medium-format turret punch presses
45 or 51 tool stations with 4 auto-index positions provide good tool capacity for diverse production
Brush table prevents scratching on pre-finished and decorative materials
+/-0.05 mm positioning accuracy ensures consistent hole placement across production runs
Power vacuum slug pull keeps the work area clean and reduces maintenance downtime

Limitations

2,500 x 1,000 mm working area is on the smaller side -- cannot handle wide sheets without repositioning
200 kN punching force limits maximum punch diameter on thicker material
Amada tooling costs run premium compared to aftermarket Mate/Wilson alternatives
No ZRT (Zero Returnable Turret) -- standard turret indexing is slower than the EM-ZRT series

Best For

Mid-size fabrication shops running production volumes of electrical panels, HVAC components, and enclosures Job shops needing a versatile servo punch press that handles diverse part types without excessive tool changes Fabricators upgrading from hydraulic turret punches who want servo-electric efficiency without flagship pricing Operations processing pre-finished or decorative materials requiring scratch-free handling Shops where combined punching, forming, and tapping in one setup reduces total manufacturing cost

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the Amada AE 2510 NT cost?

New AE 2510 NT machines price between $250,000 and $380,000 depending on tooling package and automation level. With load/unload automation and part sorting, installed costs can reach $450,000-$550,000.

02 How does the AE 2510 NT compare to the AE 255 NT?

The AE 2510 NT has a 2,500 x 1,000 mm working area. The AE 255 NT has a 2,500 x 500 mm working area -- narrower, designed for smaller sheet formats. Both share the same punching force, hit rate, and servo drive technology. Choose the 2510 for standard sheets; choose the 255 for narrow-format or strip processing.

03 What tooling does the AE 2510 NT use?

The machine uses Amada thick turret tooling. Multi-tool holders expand station capacity. Standard punch, nibble, form, tap, and marking tools are available. Compatible aftermarket tooling from Mate Precision and Wilson Tool is widely available.

04 Can the AE 2510 NT run unattended?

With automation options including automatic load/unload and part sorting, the AE 2510 NT supports extended unattended operation. The servo-electric drive and power vacuum slug system reduce the need for operator intervention during production runs.
