Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Amada EM 3612NT is listed as a 300 kN (30 tons) turret punch press for long sheet: its sheet capacity is 1,270 x 3,660 mm (50 x 144 in), served by 45 turret stations. The model is missing from Amada's current lineup, so the listed figures below are best read as a guide to a machine bought second-hand.
Length is the reason to look at this model. A 3,660 mm (144 in) capacity suits long panels, enclosure sides and trim that would otherwise be punched in two set-ups. The X axis positions at 90 m/min and the maximum punch rate is 550 hits/min on a short step.
Thickness ranges are listed by material: 0.5-6.0 mm (0.02-0.236 in) for mild steel and for aluminum, and 0.5-4.5 mm (0.02-0.177 in) for stainless. The 45 stations come with auto-index and multi-tool options, and the large D station takes tools up to 88.9 mm in diameter. A tapping unit is optional, so threading holes in the same clamping depends on whether a given machine was ordered with it.
For installation the listed figures give a machine weight of 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) and a 400/460 VAC 3-phase 50/60 Hz supply. Programming is listed as Amada AP100.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sheet capacity of 1,270 x 3,660 mm (50 x 144 in) for long panels
- 300 kN (30 tons) of punching force
- 45 stations with auto-index and multi-tool options, and tools to 88.9 mm in the large D station
- 90 m/min X positioning and up to 550 hits/min on a short step
- Thickness ranges are stated separately for mild steel, stainless and aluminum
Limitations
- The stainless range ends at 4.5 mm (0.177 in)
- Tapping is an optional unit, not part of every machine
- Mild steel and aluminum stop at 6.0 mm (0.236 in)
- Needs a 400/460 VAC 3-phase supply and a floor rated for 12,000 kg (26,455 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Sheet capacity is listed as 1,270 x 3,660 mm (50 x 144 in). The X axis positions at 90 m/min, and the maximum punch rate of 550 hits/min applies to a short step between hits.
02
Mild steel 0.5-6.0 mm (0.02-0.236 in), stainless 0.5-4.5 mm (0.02-0.177 in) and aluminum 0.5-6.0 mm (0.02-0.236 in). Punching force is 300 kN (30 tons).
03
Only if the optional tapping unit is fitted. The listed figures show tapping as an option, so check the individual machine. The turret's auto-index and multi-tool capability is likewise listed as optional.
04
The electrical row reads 400/460 VAC 3-phase 50/60 Hz. Machine weight is 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), so the floor and the rigging route should be checked for that load before the machine is moved.
