Murata Wiedemann Optipunch 360

The Murata Wiedemann Optipunch 360 is a high-performance CNC turret punch press engineered for precision sheet metal fabrication in mid-to-high volume production environments. With 360 kN of punching force, it handles a broad range of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheet stock up to 6 mm thick, delivering consistent punch quality across long production runs.

The machine features Murata Wiedemann's signature servo-electric drive system, which eliminates the hydraulic circuit entirely. This results in significantly lower energy consumption compared to hydraulic equivalents, reduced maintenance overhead, and cleaner shop-floor operation. The servo drive also provides precise ram speed control, enabling optimized nibbling and forming cycles.

The Optipunch 360 is equipped with a 36-station turret capable of holding a full complement of standard and multi-tool tooling systems. Automatic tool indexing and a fast repositioning speed of up to 80 m/min on both axes ensure minimal cycle time. The integrated Siemens or Fanuc CNC controller supports direct DXF import and interfaces cleanly with common CAD/CAM nesting software.

Designed for flexibility, the Optipunch 360 supports tapping, forming, countersinking, and marking operations without requiring secondary setups. Its compact footprint and rigid monocoque frame make it suitable for both standalone cell installations and integration into automated sheet metal lines.
