Whitney 657

Affordable Punching & Plasma Cutting

High Quality Fabricated Parts are produced by using punching technology for accurate internal holes, and the latest plasma cutting technology for well-defined, clean external features.
True Flexibility is achieved with an open throat design, repositioning cylinders for long parts, parametric shape library for fast set-ups, and forming capability for producing countersinks, tread plate, louvers, and many other features that are not possible on standalone laser or plasma-cutting machines.
High Levels of Productivity can be attained because punching is faster than piercing and cutting holes; and plasma cutting is faster than laser and waterjet cutting.
Affordable Technology – the initial cost of the 657 machine is much lower than laser-cutting machines, and the ongoing operating costs are lower than any other process.
