At KNS Metals, we don’t just punch metal — we bring your designs to life with precision turret punching that’s fast, consistent, and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re producing custom components or large-scale parts, our CNC turret punching machines deliver accuracy you can count on, every time.
As Melbourne’s laser and turret punching specialists, we combine state-of-the-art machinery with decades of hands-on expertise to deliver high-quality outcomes without compromise.
Turret punching is the process of using a specialised machine to punch shapes, holes, and patterns into sheet metal with absolute accuracy. It’s ideal for high-volume manufacturing and custom projects that demand repeatability, speed, and flexibility.
Our turret punch machines are equipped to:
Unlike laser cutting alone, CNC turret punching offers a broader range of options for forming and embossing, making it ideal for creating features like louvres, countersinks, and custom cut-outs in one efficient process.
At KNS Metals, we utilise Amada Vipros 2510 and Pega 367 turret punch machines — industry leaders recognised for their precision, reliability, and high-speed output. Each CNC turret punching machine is equipped with multiple tool stations, enabling rapid tool changes and minimising downtime during production.
We can process:
This makes our workshop ideal for handling both short runs and high-volume orders without sacrificing quality or turnaround time.
As an Australian family-owned business with an established reputation, our network of suppliers and partners in the sheet metal and engineering industries enables us to provide excellent services and advice to every client. Utilising state-of-the-art technology that supports our commitment to delivering high-quality materials and outcomes, CNC, CAD, and CAM applications ensure that every piece we manufacture and cut consistently meets the mark.
Whether you’re building architectural components, industrial enclosures, or custom panels, we’ll ensure your parts are punched to perfection.
Our Dandenong-based metal workshop goes beyond punching. We’re equipped to support a wide range of manufacturing services, including:
With everything handled under one roof, you’ll benefit from faster production, better quality control, and streamlined communication.
Instead of outsourcing this work to overseas suppliers, speak with the team to see how you can streamline your manufacturing, shipping, and production processes from a local supplier without compromising on quality or cost. With in-depth knowledge of our products, resources, and client needs, we’re confident in finding a cost-effective local solution to support your manufacturing and ongoing projects today.
We’re trusted by industries across construction, manufacturing, architecture, and more — and we’re ready to partner with you next. Contact us today to get started.
Turret punching is a manufacturing process that uses a turret punch machine to create holes, slots, and shapes in sheet metal. A rotating turret holds a variety of tools that can be quickly switched during operation, enabling the efficient punching of complex patterns without interrupting the machine’s operation.
While both are used for cutting metal, laser cutting uses a high-powered beam to melt or vaporise material, whereas turret punching uses mechanical force to punch shapes into the metal. Turret punching is generally faster for high-volume jobs with repetitive shapes, and it is ideal for forming features such as louvres or countersinks. At KNS Metals, we’re both laser & turret punching specialists, so we can recommend the right method for your project.
Our CNC turret punching machines can process a wide range of materials, including mild steel (up to 3 mm), aluminium (up to 4 mm), stainless steel (up to 2 mm), and galvanised or zinc-coated sheet metal (up to 3 mm). We can accommodate sheet sizes up to 1270mm by 4978.4mm with repositioning.
Yes. While CNC turret punching is highly efficient for large production runs, it’s also ideal for custom sheet metal fabrication. Our setup enables rapid tool changes and minimises waste, making it a cost-effective option for both low-volume and high-volume manufacturing.
Absolutely. KNS Metals is based in Dandenong and provides professional turret punching services across Melbourne. Whether you need a one-off part or full production support, our team is equipped with advanced CNC turret punches and ready to assist with precision, speed, and locally based expertise.
