Overview
The Amada EM 2510 is a servo-electric turret punch press built for precision sheet metal fabrication in enclosure manufacturing, electrical panel production, HVAC component fabrication, and mid-volume sheet metal job shops. The EM series represents Amada's all-electric approach to turret punching: the servo-electric drive eliminates hydraulic oil entirely, delivering consistent 25-ton punch force throughout the full stroke range while reducing energy consumption, noise output, and maintenance requirements compared to hydraulic turret presses. The 2510 model designation indicates a 25-ton capacity with a 1270×2500 mm (5×10 foot) work area that covers standard full sheets.
The EM 2510 features a 48-station turret with support for Amada's multi-tool system, which allows individual stations to hold multiple punch-and-die pairs in a rotating sub-indexer. With multi-tool holders installed, the effective tool count expands well beyond 48 stations — enabling complex parts with diverse hole patterns, louvers, countersinks, and embosses to run in a single program. Punch speed reaches up to 600 hits per minute for nibbling operations, and the X/Y axis repositioning speed of 100 m/min ensures rapid sheet movement between features without lost cycle time.
Amada's AMNC 3i touchscreen CNC control provides the programming interface for the EM 2510, with connectivity to Amada's VPSS 3i offline programming software for full 3D simulation and batch program development away from the machine. Operators familiar with any Amada turret press can work on the EM 2510 without retraining, and programs transfer via network for immediate production start. The servo-electric drive's precise stroke depth control enables the EM 2510 to perform a full range of forming operations — louvers, bridge lances, countersinks, half-shears, and embosses — with depth programmable per station.
The EM 2510 is designed for integration with Amada's automation ecosystem including the MP magazine loader, ASRS tower storage, and ATC automatic tool changer options that extend production flexibility toward lights-out fabrication. For shops running Amada fiber laser cutters and press brakes, the EM 2510 fits naturally into an Amada-ecosystem fabrication cell with common controls, programming software, and service infrastructure. Competing directly with the TRUMPF TruPunch 1000 and TruPunch 3000, the EM 2510 is a strong choice for shops requiring proven servo-electric punching performance with Amada's global support network.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Servo-electric drive eliminates hydraulic oil, reducing maintenance costs and environmental compliance requirements
- Full 25-ton force available throughout the entire stroke range, not just at stroke end like hydraulic designs
- 600 hits/min nibbling speed with 100 m/min repositioning for high-throughput complex programs
- Precise stroke depth control enables louvers, countersinks, half-shears, and embosses with per-station depth programming
- AMNC 3i control is common across the Amada range, allowing operator cross-training with laser and brake equipment
Limitations
- 25-ton servo-electric capacity is insufficient for heavy structural forming work that requires hydraulic punch force above 30 tons
- Amada tooling system limits compatibility with third-party punch and die sets compared to Trumpf-style or Mate-style tooling
- Higher initial cost than comparable hydraulic turret presses from mid-tier manufacturers

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The servo-electric drive on the EM 2510 delivers full 25-ton force throughout the entire stroke (not just at the end of stroke like hydraulic designs), consumes energy only when actively punching, generates significantly less noise and heat, and eliminates hydraulic oil entirely. This means no oil changes, no filter replacements, no leak repairs, and lower overall operating costs compared to a hydraulic turret press of equivalent capacity.
02
Yes. The servo-electric drive provides precise programmable stroke depth control, making the EM 2510 well-suited for forming operations including louvers, bridge lances, countersinks, half-shears, and embosses. Stroke depth is programmed per tool station in the AMNC 3i control, allowing multiple forming operations in a single program alongside punching and nibbling operations.
03
Both are mid-range servo-electric turret punch presses with comparable work areas and punch rates. The EM 2510 offers 25 tons versus the TruPunch 3000's 20 tons, giving a small advantage for thicker material forming. The TruPunch 3000 uses TRUMPF's MultiTool system for higher effective tool count in a single program; Amada's multi-tool option provides similar capability. Control and programming software ecosystems differ, so the preferred choice typically follows the existing brand investment in a given shop.
