Overview
The Euromac BX Punch 6/1250 is a CNC turret punch press from the Italian manufacturer Euromac, designed for versatile sheet metal fabrication in small-to-medium production environments. The designation indicates a 6-station working head and a 1,250 mm maximum sheet width capacity, reflecting Euromac's modular tooling system approach that differs from traditional large-turret press designs.
Euromac's BX Punch series uses a single-head, multi-tool architecture where each station accepts a multi-tool holder capable of carrying multiple punch and die sets simultaneously. This approach delivers the effective tooling variety of a larger turret within a more compact machine envelope. The hydraulic punch drive provides consistent force delivery across all tool station positions, and the machine's C-frame structure is optimized for rigidity during high-force forming and embossing operations in addition to standard punching.
The BX Punch 6/1250 is equipped with Euromac's proprietary CNC control system, which features a graphical programming interface and direct DXF import capability. The control supports both manual and automatic cycle modes, making it flexible for short-run and repeat production alike. Standard software includes automatic tool assignment and nesting preview to optimize blank utilization before cutting starts.
Euromac positions the BX Punch series for customers in southern and central Europe, as well as export markets in Asia and the Americas, who value Italian engineering quality, compact machine dimensions, and lower cost of entry into professional-grade CNC punch press capability.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Multi-tool head approach provides high tooling variety from a compact 6-station design
- Strong 300 kN punching force for a machine in this price and footprint class
- Italian engineering quality with a focus on compact, efficient machine design
- Direct DXF import and graphical programming simplify part setup
Limitations
- 6-station head architecture requires more careful upfront tool planning compared to 24+ station turrets
- Euromac's global service network is smaller than major Japanese and German competitors
- 1,250 x 1,250 mm capacity limits use to smaller sheet blanks

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Each of the 6 stations accepts a multi-tool holder that can carry multiple punch and die combinations. The CNC selects the correct tool position within each holder automatically, giving effective tooling variety comparable to a 24+ station traditional turret.
02
The BX Punch 6/1250 handles mild steel up to approximately 5 mm, stainless steel up to 3.5 mm, and aluminum up to 5 mm, depending on hole size and tooling geometry.
03
Euromac's multi-tool system uses its own holder format. While individual punch and die inserts follow standard geometric conventions, the multi-tool holder assembly is specific to the Euromac system.
