Overview
The Haco Atlantic 5 1500-25 is a CNC turret punch press from the Belgian manufacturer Haco, designed to deliver reliable, high-accuracy sheet metal punching at a competitive price point. With 250 kN of punching force and a 1,500 mm x 1,250 mm working envelope, it addresses the needs of small-to-medium fabrication shops that require dependable production performance without the capital outlay of premium-tier machines.
The Atlantic 5 series features a C-frame monocoque construction that provides structural rigidity during high-force punching cycles while keeping the overall machine footprint compact. The hydraulic drive system is well-proven for durability in continuous production environments, and the machine's straightforward architecture simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. The 25-station turret is compatible with standard Thick Turret and Thin Turret tooling systems widely available from major tooling manufacturers.
Haco equips the Atlantic 5 1500-25 with its own Haco CNC controller, which offers an intuitive graphical interface and accepts part programs generated by all major CAD/CAM nesting packages. Servo-driven axis movement on X and Y provides smooth, accurate sheet positioning at speeds up to 72 m/min. Auto-indexing on select turret stations adds forming and specialty tooling flexibility.
Typically sold with an optional integrated part chute and scrap skeleton removal system, the Atlantic 5 1500-25 is a practical choice for HVAC fabricators, electrical enclosure shops, and general metal fabricators looking to automate their punching operations with minimal complexity.
