Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from Boschert. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Boschert Compact is a hydraulic CNC punching machine offered in four table sizes, CP-750, CP-1000, CP-1250 and CP-1500. Working range runs from 30 x 80 in on the CP-750 through 40 x 80 in and 50 x 80 in to 60 x 80 in on the CP-1500. Punching force is 36 tons, with 50 tons as an option.

Choosing a size is mostly a decision about sheet width and floor space, because the punching figures are the same across the four. Footprint grows from 13 ft 6 in x 13 ft on the CP-750 to 18 ft x 13 ft on the CP-1500, and weight from 16,250 lbs to 26,000 lbs, with the CP-1000 at 20,250 lbs and the CP-1250 at 23,100 lbs. The long side of the working range is 80 in on every size, yet Boschert lists a maximum sheet length of 32 ft, which implies the sheet is repositioned for long work. Maximum workpiece weight is 440 lbs.

Sheet thickness depends on how the sheet is held and which tooling is used: 1/4 in with standard clamps, 1/2 in with special clamps, and 1/4 in through the Revotool. Maximum punch diameter is 4 in and maximum stroke length 3.54 in. The Revotool has 4, 6, 7 or 8 positions and changes tools in 2 to 4 sec, against 10 to 15 sec for a manual change, so it pays off on parts that mix several small punch shapes.

Positioning speed is 2,365 ipm on X and 1,180 ipm on Y, or 2,650 ipm with both axes moving diagonally. Punching speed is 400 spm on the standard hydraulics and 800 spm with the high-speed option, which comes with an oil chiller and a 160 liter oil reservoir where the standard machine has 115 liter.

For installation, Boschert lists a 7.5 / 15 HP hydraulic motor, 25 / 35 Amps at 230 / 460 Volts and compressed air at a minimum of 4.5 bar / 65 psi. Electrical consumption is given as 5.4 / 8.75 kW/h when punching 1/4 in material.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Four table sizes, from a 30 x 80 in working range on the CP-750 to 60 x 80 in on the CP-1500, with the same punching figures
36 tons of punching force as standard and 50 tons as an option
Positioning at 2,365 ipm on X and 1,180 ipm on Y, 2,650 ipm on the diagonal
Revotool with 4, 6, 7 or 8 positions changes tools in 2 to 4 sec
A maximum sheet length of 32 ft is listed, well beyond the 80 in working range
High-speed option raises punching speed from 400 spm to 800 spm

Limitations

Sheet thickness tops out at 1/4 in with standard clamps and through the Revotool; 1/2 in needs special clamps
800 spm is an option that requires the oil chiller; the standard hydraulics give 400 spm
Maximum workpiece weight is 440 lbs., which restricts large sheets in the thicker gauges
A manual tool change takes 10 to 15 sec
50 tons is optional; the base machine punches with 36 tons

Best For

Sheet metal punching up to 1/4 in thick with standard clamps Shops matching table size to floor space, from 13 ft 6 in x 13 ft upward Long sheets, with a listed maximum sheet length of 32 ft Parts with several small punch shapes run from a Revotool Holes and cutouts up to the 4 in maximum punch diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sizes does the Boschert Compact come in?

Four. The CP-750 has a 30 x 80 in working range, a 13 ft 6 in x 13 ft footprint and weighs 16,250 lbs. The CP-1000 has 40 x 80 in and weighs 20,250 lbs. The CP-1250 has 50 x 80 in and weighs 23,100 lbs. The CP-1500 has 60 x 80 in, an 18 ft x 13 ft footprint and weighs 26,000 lbs.

02 How thick a sheet can the Compact punch?

Boschert lists 1/4 in with standard clamps and 1/2 in with special clamps. Through the Revotool the limit is 1/4 in. Punching force is 36 tons, or 50 tons as an option, and the maximum punch diameter is 4 in. Maximum workpiece weight is 440 lbs.
