Automatic Tool Assignment & Tooling Optimization
Automatically assign punches and dies according to part geometry, material, thickness and available machine tooling. Optimize tool selection and reuse while reducing repetitive manual tooling work.
Product
Advanced CAD/CAM for CNC turret punching, from part preparation and nesting to tooling, sequencing and machine-ready NC programs.
Almacam for Turret Punch is a complete CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC turret punch machines. It combines CAD import, part preparation, automatic tooling, advanced nesting, punching technology and NC programming in one integrated environment.
Designed for sheet metal manufacturers and industrial production environments, Almacam helps programmers optimize sheet utilization while managing the specific requirements of punching. The software supports efficient tool allocation, punching and nibbling operations, forming processes and optimized machine sequences for different turret punch configurations.
Key features
Automatically assign punches and dies according to part geometry, material, thickness and available machine tooling. Optimize tool selection and reuse while reducing repetitive manual tooling work.
Program standard punching, nibbling and special forming operations within one CAM environment. Manage process-specific operations according to the capabilities, tooling and configuration of each turret punch machine.
Optimize sheet utilization while considering punching-specific constraints such as clamps, dead zones, repositioning, tool access and machine working limits. Combine different parts, orders and quantities into efficient production nests.
Optimize operation sequences, tool changes, repositioning and machine movements to reduce non-productive time. Generate machine-ready NC programs through dedicated post-processors adapted to each turret punch machine and CNC controller.
Benefits

FAQ
Common Questions
Almacam for Turret Punch is a specialized CAD/CAM solution for programming CNC punching and punching-nibbling machines. It automates key programming stages including tool allocation, machining sequences, nesting, part evacuation and NC program generation.
Yes. Almacam can automate tool allocation according to the part geometry and punching requirements. Tool selection can also consider factors such as material, thickness and the machine’s available turret configuration.
Yes. Almacam supports conventional punching as well as nibbling, where profiles are produced through multiple punching strokes. It can also manage nibbling with non-standard tool shapes, depending on the machine and tooling configuration.
