Overview
The Boschert Multipunch 60 is a CNC hydraulic punch press manufactured by Boschert GmbH, the German precision metal fabrication machinery specialist headquartered in Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg. With a 60-ton punching force and a compact footprint designed for efficient use of floor space, the Multipunch 60 serves the mid-range sheet metal fabrication market, targeting shops producing electrical panels, ventilation components, industrial enclosures, and precision sheet metal parts where punching capacity up to 6 mm mild steel is the dominant requirement.
The Multipunch 60 features a rigid C-frame construction with a hydraulic drive system tuned for smooth, controlled punching strokes that minimize sheet distortion on thin gauge materials. Its CNC-controlled X-Y positioning table feeds the workpiece under the punch tooling with servo-driven accuracy, achieving repositioning speeds sufficient for high-productivity single-stroke punching programs. The turret tooling system accepts standard industry tooling in multiple station sizes, enabling rapid changeover between programs with different hole patterns without dedicated setups.
Boschert equips the Multipunch 60 with a modern CNC control system supporting DXF file import and direct integration with CAD/CAM nesting software. The control manages tool selection, stroke parameters, and sheet positioning from a centralized interface, allowing operators to run complex multi-tool programs with minimal manual intervention. Optional features include forming tooling capability for louvers, lances, embossments, and countersinks, expanding the machine's functionality beyond simple hole punching.
As a German-manufactured machine, the Boschert Multipunch 60 carries a reputation for build quality, mechanical precision, and durability that appeals to European fabricators and export markets where German engineering standards are valued. Boschert's focus on mid-range punching technology has earned the company a loyal customer base in Switzerland, Austria, Benelux, and beyond, with particular strength in precision sheet metal, medical device enclosures, and industrial control cabinet manufacturing.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- German-engineered C-frame construction provides excellent rigidity and punch accuracy for precise hole positioning
- 60-ton punching force handles the full range of typical sheet metal gauges up to 6 mm mild steel
- Forming tooling capability expands processing options beyond punching to include louvers, lances, and embossments
- Compact footprint relative to punching force class makes it practical for shops with limited floor space
- Boschert's reputation for build quality and longevity supports strong residual value and long service life
Limitations
- Hydraulic drive is less energy-efficient than servo-electric alternatives and requires hydraulic system maintenance
- 32-station turret capacity is moderate — complex programs requiring many tool types may require tool changeover between runs
- Punching speed and repositioning speed are below best-in-class servo-electric turret punch presses

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Multipunch 60 processes mild steel up to 6 mm, stainless steel up to 4 mm, and aluminum up to 5 mm. It can also punch other sheet metals including copper and brass within the machine's force capacity. Recommended hole diameter should equal or exceed material thickness for clean punched holes.
02
Yes. With optional forming tooling, the Multipunch 60 performs louvers, lances, embossments, bridge forms, and countersinks in addition to punching. The CNC control manages stroke depth for forming operations, enabling complex multi-feature programs combining punching and forming in a single sheet pass.
03
The Boschert CNC control accepts DXF file import and standard NC code, making it compatible with major sheet metal CAD/CAM packages including Radan, Metalix, SigmaNest, Lantek, and others. Direct DXF import allows operators to run customer part files without specialized post-processing.
