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-ZRT 3612 is listed as a servo-electric turret punch press with a working area of 3,658 x 1,270 mm (144 x 50 in), 200 kN (22.5 tons) of punching force and a Zero Returnable Turret (ZRT). This designation is not found in Amada's current lineup. Amada's range today has the EM 3612 ZRTe, a 300 kN machine with 3050 x 1525 mm of axis travel and a weight of 25000 kg, so the two should not be assumed to share figures.
The turret rows set the listed figures apart. Index time is 0.3 seconds to any station, which means a tool change takes about as long whether the next tool is adjacent or on the far side of the turret. Capacity is up to 58 tools with multi-tool holders. On parts with many different hole shapes, that keeps the stroke rate, listed at up to 600 strokes/min, from being diluted by turret movement.
Positioning accuracy is ±0.05 mm and traverse speed is 100 m/min. The punch drive is servo-electric, described as an ID system, and average power consumption is 5.5 kW. Maximum sheet thickness is 6.35 mm (0.25 in) in mild steel, with nothing listed for stainless or aluminum.
The control is the AMNC 3i with an 18.5-inch touchscreen. Weight is approx. 18,500 kg (40,785 lbs), which calls for a rigging plan and a floor check before a machine is moved.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Zero Returnable Turret (ZRT) indexes to any station in 0.3 seconds
- Up to 58 tools with multi-tool holders
- ±0.05 mm positioning accuracy at 100 m/min traverse
- Average power consumption of 5.5 kW from the servo-electric drive
- 3,658 x 1,270 mm (144 x 50 in) working area for long sheets
Limitations
- 200 kN (22.5 tons) of punching force, against 300 kN on the EM 3612 ZRTe
- Thickness is listed for mild steel only, at 6.35 mm (0.25 in)
- Reaching 58 tools relies on multi-tool holders
- Approx. 18,500 kg (40,785 lbs) to move and install

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give the turret type as Zero Returnable Turret (ZRT). The rows that go with it are an index time of 0.3 seconds to any station and a capacity of up to 58 tools with multi-tool holders.
02
The figures differ, so do not treat them as one machine. The EM-ZRT 3612 is listed at 200 kN (22.5 tons) with a 3,658 x 1,270 mm (144 x 50 in) working area and approx. 18,500 kg (40,785 lbs). The EM 3612 ZRTe is a 300 kN machine with 3050 x 1525 mm of axis travel and a weight of 25000 kg. Go by the nameplate of the machine in question.
03
The maximum stroke rate is 600 strokes/min and traverse speed is 100 m/min. Turret index time is 0.3 seconds to any station, so tool changes add little to the cycle on parts that call many tools.
04
The control is the AMNC 3i with an 18.5-inch touchscreen. Average power consumption is listed as 5.5 kW, and the drive type is servo-electric (ID system).
