When fabricating aluminum curtain wall, storefront, window wall, fixed window extrusions, or vinyl window and door profiles, choosing the right punching technology has a direct impact on productivity, operating costs, and long-term reliability. While hydraulic punch presses are commonly used in heavy industrial environments, pneumatic punch presses offer clear advantages  for processing architectural aluminum and vinyl. Below is a closer look at why pneumatic punch presses

Each punch press includes a lifetime warranty on all major parts , giving you confidence in the durability of your investment. In addition, there is a limited warranty on punching pins and blades , which depends on your shop’s workload and production volume. For very busy shops, cutting parts may need replacement every 5–7 years, which typically costs between $100 and $300 per punch press. Regular maintenance, including the use of standard oil lubricants, can significantly ex

Over the past 15 years, MyPunchPress has distributed hundreds of punch presses across the U.S. and Canada. These machines have been used successfully on dozens of curtain walls, window walls, storefronts, and fixed window systems. North American fabricators have relied on them for consistent, precise, and efficient processing of aluminum extrusions. The punch presses themselves are manufactured by Shoham Machinery Ltd., a company with more than 40 years of global experience i

Each punch press is configured and delivered with the necessary dies pre-installed for a specific manufacturer and system. This means you receive the machine ready to operate with all required tooling included in a single purchase. The number of dies a punch press can accommodate depends on the profile and type of material it is designed to process. For example, some systems may allow up to nine dies, each serving a different purpose such as holes, slots, notches, or pressure

Your punch press arrives fully assembled in a crate, and once you place it on a workbench and connect it to any air compressor, even a portable one, it’s ready to run. No special training or operator qualifications are required. Each machine comes pre-set for a specific curtain wall or storefront system, so there are no adjustments or complex setups needed. Every die is designed to accept only the mullions intended for that system, making incorrect operation virtually impossi

The answer is simple: a punch press can handle up to 40% of the work typically done on a CNC, and it does it much faster. For curtain wall fabrication, all horizontal mullions can be processed entirely on a punch press, often in far less time than it takes a CNC. In many cases, replacing CNC operations with punch-press tooling can save up to 60% of fabrication time. A punch press also costs roughly ten times less than the average CNC machine, making it a highly economical add
