Overview

The Amada VIPROS 3610 is a high-performance CNC turret punch press representing Amada's flagship VIPROS series, engineered for fabricators who need production-grade punching throughput with strong automation compatibility. Built around a high-speed servo drive system, the VIPROS 3610 delivers up to 400 hits per minute under optimal conditions with a 30-ton punching force — one of the highest punching force ratings in its class. The machine targets sheet metal fabricators in the HVAC, electrical enclosure, automotive, and precision sheet metal sectors where a combination of high hit rates and the ability to punch thicker materials is required.

The VIPROS 3610's 30-ton punching force is a key differentiator from competitors rated at 20-25 tons. This additional force capacity allows the machine to punch thicker mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with larger tools at rated speed without the hit-rate derating that comparable machines require at the limits of their force envelope. For fabricators regularly working with 6 mm mild steel or 4 mm stainless, the VIPROS 3610's force headroom provides more consistent cycle times across a broader range of material and tool combinations.

Amada's VIPROS 3610 features a 58-station turret as standard, providing exceptional tool capacity for shops running complex part families with many different hole sizes and forms. The turret accommodates Amada's standard punch tooling system in sizes A through F, and multiple stations can be configured with auto-index tooling for positioning without physical turret rotation. This combination of large turret capacity and auto-index capability makes the VIPROS 3610 particularly effective for parts with angled slots, diagonal patterns, and oblong holes that would otherwise require multiple hits with repositioned tooling.

For automation, the VIPROS 3610 integrates with Amada's MARS (Material Handling Robot System) and LAMS (Loader Automation Module System) for automated sheet loading and unloading. Amada's ASF (Automatic Sheet Feeder) and skeleton removal systems allow extended unmanned production on repeat programs. Programming through Amada's AP100 or Dr.ABE_Blank software provides automatic tool selection, hit sequencing, and micro-joint placement for skeleton integrity, with Amada's AP-SHEET server enabling connected multi-machine production environments.

The VIPROS 3610 is priced in the $400,000-$650,000 range for new machines depending on turret configuration and automation options. This positions it as a premium turret punch press for fabricators who need more punching force and tool capacity than mid-range machines like the Amada EM series provide, while remaining more accessible than full combined punch/laser systems. For shops running high-variety parts in medium to high volumes on materials up to 6 mm thick, the VIPROS 3610 is one of the most capable dedicated turret punch presses available.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

30-ton punching force — highest in class for a dedicated turret punch press — enables full-speed punching of thick mild steel and stainless without derating
58-station turret provides exceptional tool capacity for complex, high-variety part families without mid-job tool changes
400 hits/min rated speed with auto-index tooling option handles diagonal and angled features efficiently
Strong automation ecosystem with MARS, LAMS, and ASF integration for lights-out extended production
Amada's AP100 programming software with automatic hit sequencing reduces CAM programming time on complex nested programs

Limitations

Premium pricing of $400,000-$650,000 requires high production volumes to justify versus mid-range Amada EM series
Large machine footprint and weight require adequate floor space and foundation preparation
58-station turret setup and tooling investment is substantial; full utilization requires broad part family portfolio

Best For

Sheet metal fabricators regularly punching 4-6 mm mild steel or 3-4 mm stainless who need to maintain production speed on thick materials Job shops with high part variety who need maximum turret tool capacity to minimize changeover between jobs HVAC and electrical enclosure manufacturers running large sheet quantities with dense, varied hole patterns Fabricators building an automated Amada cell combining VIPROS punch with Amada fiber laser and sorting automation

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why does the VIPROS 3610 have a 30-ton punching force when most turret punch presses are 20 tons?

The 30-ton force rating gives the VIPROS 3610 headroom to punch thicker materials and larger diameter tools at rated speed without hit-rate derating. Most 20-ton machines must slow down significantly when punching 6 mm mild steel with large tools; the VIPROS 3610 maintains more consistent throughput across a wider material and tooling envelope.

02 What is the VIPROS 3610's turret capacity and tool system?

The VIPROS 3610 features a 58-station turret using Amada's standard A through F size tooling system. Optional auto-index stations (up to 4) allow tool rotation to any angle under CNC control, eliminating multiple hits for angled slots or diagonal patterns. This large turret capacity reduces job setup time for complex part families.

03 How does the VIPROS 3610 compare to the Amada EM-2510NT?

The VIPROS 3610 targets higher-volume production with its 30-ton force, 58-station turret, and higher hit rate versus the EM-2510NT's more compact, economical design. The EM-2510NT is suited for mid-volume shops, while the VIPROS 3610 is for fabricators who need the maximum tool capacity and punching force in a dedicated turret punch press.

04 Can the VIPROS 3610 run unattended?

Yes. With Amada's MARS (Material Handling Robot System) for sheet loading/unloading and ASF (Automatic Sheet Feeder) for continuous feeding, the VIPROS 3610 can run extended unmanned shifts. Skeleton removal automation and micro-joint programming through AP100 complete the unattended production setup.

05 What is the price of an Amada VIPROS 3610?

New VIPROS 3610 systems are typically priced in the $400,000-$650,000 range depending on turret configuration, auto-index stations, and automation options. Used machines from the mid-2010s are available in the $80,000-$180,000 range depending on condition and tooling included.
