How much does the Peddinghaus FAB-MASTER 8 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from Peddinghaus. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Peddinghaus FAB-MASTER 8 is listed as a CNC punching line for angles, flat bar, channels and plates, with 80 tons (711 kN) of punching force and 8 punching stations. Peddinghaus's current pages do not show the model, and the listed figures have not been confirmed against the maker.
Capacity is stated by section. Angles go up to 250x250x25mm and flat bar up to 600x25mm, and the 250 mm throat depth is given as the angle leg capacity. Maximum material thickness is 25 mm in mild steel. All three thickness figures agree at 25 mm, which is the limit to check first: a job in thicker stock, or in a stronger grade at full thickness, is outside what the table supports.
Eight stations mean eight punch sizes or shapes can stay set up at once, so a run of clip angles or bracing with different hole patterns does not stop for tool changes until it needs a ninth. Punching speed is up to 60 strokes/min and the servo feed repositions material at up to 40,000 mm/min. On long bar with widely spaced holes, the feed rate does more for output than the stroke rate.
Control is the Peddinghaus FPCONTROL CNC, with Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and SDS/2 named for CAD/CAM integration. Scribing, center punch and marking units are optional, so a particular machine may have none of them. Machine weight is approximately 15,000 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 80 tons (711 kN) of punching force for material up to 25 mm thick in mild steel
- 8 punching stations keep several punch sizes set up at once
- Servo feed repositions at up to 40,000 mm/min, with punching at up to 60 strokes/min
- Takes angles up to 250x250x25mm and flat bar up to 600x25mm, plus channels and plates
- Peddinghaus FPCONTROL CNC with Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and SDS/2 integration
Limitations
- Material thickness is capped at 25 mm, and that figure is stated for mild steel only
- Scribing, center punch and marking are optional units
- Throat depth is 250 mm, given as the angle leg capacity, so wider legs do not fit
- The table covers punching only: no shear, drill or cut-off unit appears in it, and the model is not on Peddinghaus's current pages

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed punching force is 80 tons (711 kN), with a maximum material thickness of 25 mm in mild steel. The table does not give a maximum hole diameter at that thickness, so the largest punch a machine can drive through 25 mm stock should be confirmed from its tooling chart.
02
Angles up to 250x250x25mm and flat bar up to 600x25mm are listed, along with channels and plates, for which no size limit is given. Throat depth is 250 mm, stated as the angle leg capacity.
03
It is listed with 8 punching stations. The table does not say how the stations are split between the legs of an angle or what tooling style they take, which matters when buying punches and dies for an existing machine.
04
Punching speed is listed at up to 60 strokes/min and repositioning at up to 40,000 mm/min on a servo feed. Both are upper limits; the actual rate on a part depends on hole spacing and material thickness.
05
Scribing, center punch and marking are optional units, so they are present only if the machine was ordered with them. The control is the Peddinghaus FPCONTROL CNC, with Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and SDS/2 named for CAD/CAM integration.
