How much does the Prima Power Punch Sharp 1540 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Prima Power Punch Sharp 1540 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
For 4,300 mm x 1,565 mm (169.3 x 61.6 in) sheet, Prima Power offers the Punch Sharp 1540 (PS1540), the longest of the three Punch Sharp servo-electric turret punch presses. The Punch Sharp 1530 below it takes 3,074 mm x 1,565 mm.
Performance figures do not change with table length. Maximum positioning speed is 108 m/min, maximum hit speed is 700 hpm, and index tools rotate at 133 rpm. That is the detail a buyer of the long model should weigh. On a 4,300 mm sheet the axes travel further between hits, and at 108 m/min the travel time grows with the sheet. The optional PS Dynamic performance lifts the hit speed to 900 hpm and the ram force to 250 kN, but the positioning figure in the table stays the same.
Standard ram force is 170 kN, 200 kN or 230 kN. Sheet thickness goes up to 8 mm (0.31 in). The turret is either 16 station, with up to 384 tools and 128 index tools, or 20 station, with up to 280 tools and 80 index tools.
Prima Power groups the benefits of the series under servo-electric punching: energy saving, accuracy and ergonomics, with a control and user interface on a touch screen panel. Easy loading solutions are mentioned without detail, and the manufacturing cell can be equipped with automation for unattended production. With sheets this long, ask what loading and unloading equipment is proposed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Longest Punch Sharp table: 4,300 mm x 1,565 mm (169.3 x 61.6 in)
- Up to 384 tools and 128 index tools in the 16 station turret
- PS Dynamic option: 250 kN and 900 hpm
- Sheet thickness up to 8 mm (0.31 in)
- Lifting brushes protect sensitive material surfaces
Limitations
- Positioning speed of 108 m/min on a 4,300 mm sheet lengthens travel-heavy programs
- PS Dynamic is an option; the standard hit speed is 700 hpm
- Standard ram force tops out at 230 kN
- Loading solutions are mentioned but not specified on the maker's page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
4,300 mm x 1,565 mm (169.3 x 61.6 in), with a maximum sheet thickness of 8 mm (0.31 in). It is the largest of the three Punch Sharp models, PS1225, PS1530 and PS1540.
02
The published figures are the same: maximum positioning speed 108 m/min, maximum hit speed 700 hpm and index tool rotation 133 rpm. Cycle times on full-length sheets will still be longer, because the axes travel further.
03
PS Dynamic raises the maximum ram force to 250 kN and the maximum hit speed to 900 hpm. Prima Power describes it as optional Dynamic performance for better productivity; the standard machine offers 170 kN, 200 kN or 230 kN at 700 hpm.
04
Two constructions: 16 stations with up to 384 tools and 128 index tools, or 20 stations with up to 280 tools and 80 index tools. Both use Multi-Tools and a rotating Auto-Index system.
