Overview

The Pullmax P9 is a CNC turret punch press from Pullmax, a Swedish manufacturer known for multi-purpose sheet metal machines including English wheels, planishing hammers, and punch presses. The P9 is a hydraulic turret punch press with a 33-station turret in a C-frame design, accommodating sheets up to 2500x1250 mm at 30 tons punching force. Pullmax machines are popular in Scandinavian fabrication shops and have a dedicated following among custom metal fabricators who appreciate the brand's heritage in sheet metal forming and punching. The P9 uses a Delem DA-65T controller for programming and features automatic slug disposal with a waste chute and conveyor system. The C-frame design provides good operator access for large sheet loading, and the hydraulic drive handles thick stainless steel and aluminum more robustly than servo-electric alternatives of equivalent tonnage. Pullmax's service network extends through Scandinavia and Northern Europe, with some representation in North America.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

30-ton hydraulic force handles heavy gauge and stainless more reliably than servo-electric
33-station turret provides good tooling capacity for complex programs
Delem DA-65T controller is well-known and well-supported globally
Swedish manufacturing with long Pullmax heritage in sheet metal equipment
Automatic slug conveyor reduces operator cleaning time

Limitations

Pullmax has limited service network outside Scandinavia and Northern Europe
Hydraulic drive less energy-efficient than servo-electric alternatives
33 stations fewer than premium Amada and TRUMPF machines
Less automation integration than Japanese or German premium brands

Best For

Scandinavian fabrication shops with Pullmax heritage machines and operator familiarity Northern European fabricators needing robust hydraulic punching at mid-range investment Custom metal fabricators producing HVAC, enclosures, and structural brackets Shops prioritizing hydraulic durability for heavy gauge stainless and aluminum

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is Pullmax still manufacturing new P9 machines?

Pullmax has gone through multiple ownership changes. Current availability of new P9 machines varies — check with Pullmax distributors in Scandinavia. A significant used P9 market exists in Northern Europe from decades of production.

02 What tooling system does the P9 use?

The P9 uses a turret punch tooling system compatible with standard European turret tooling (Wilson/Wila type). This broad compatibility means tooling from multiple suppliers (Mate, Wilson, TRUMPF MultiTool adapters) can be used in the machine.

03 Can the P9 handle stainless steel sheet?

Yes. The 30-ton hydraulic drive handles stainless steel up to approximately 4mm at full punching force. Stainless requires premium-quality tooling with TiN or TiAlN coatings to manage the higher cutting forces and abrasive nature of the material.
