Overview
The Euromac MX Punch 8/1500 is the mid-range flagship of Euromac's CNC turret punch press lineup, offering an expanded 8-station multi-tool head and a larger 1,500 mm sheet width capacity compared to the BX series. It targets fabricators who require higher production throughput, greater tooling versatility, and the ability to process larger sheet blanks without stepping up to full-size premium-class machines.
The MX Punch series introduces several performance upgrades over the BX line, including a faster X/Y axis repositioning speed of 90 m/min, an enhanced hydraulic unit with improved cycle rate, and a reinforced frame designed to handle higher sustained production volumes. The 8-station multi-tool head, combined with Euromac's multi-tool holder system, provides an effective tooling library comparable to 32+ station conventional turrets while maintaining the machine's compact profile.
Euromac's CNC control on the MX series includes advanced features such as automatic tool radius compensation, programmatic stroke depth control for forming operations, and support for Euromac's EasyPunch 3D software for offline programming and nesting. The control also stores a comprehensive tool library with wear tracking and replacement alerts, helping shops manage tooling lifecycle proactively.
The MX Punch 8/1500 is well-regarded in European fabrication markets for its combination of Italian build quality, practical capacity, and efficient use of shop floor space. It is commonly found in automotive sub-supplier shops, HVAC manufacturers, and mid-volume job shops across Italy, Spain, Germany, and export markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The MX Punch 8/1500 adds two multi-tool stations (8 vs. 6), handles larger 1,500 mm sheet width, runs faster at 90 m/min vs. 70 m/min, and includes the EasyPunch 3D offline programming platform.
02
The machine supports Euromac's EasyPunch 3D software for offline nesting, tool assignment, and NC program generation. Third-party CAD/CAM packages that output standard NC code are also compatible.
03
Yes. The MX Punch 8/1500 supports form tapping with appropriate tooling, allowing threaded holes to be produced in the same punching setup without secondary operations.
