CNC Turret Punching Services — Minneapolis, MN
Laser cutting and CNC turret punching under one roof in Minneapolis, MN. Serving OEM and industrial manufacturers across the Twin Cities and Midwest.
Three dedicated punch stations. One Minneapolis facility.
ELO Engineering operates three dedicated Murata Wiedemann CNC turret punch stations from our Minneapolis, Minnesota facility, serving OEM and industrial manufacturers across the Twin Cities and greater Midwest. Our turret punching capability handles the complex forms and secondary features that complement laser cutting — flanges, louvers, card guides, extrusions, embossments, slits, taps, and countersinks, all processed in a single setup with consistent repeatability across production runs.
For OEM programs requiring laser cutting and turret punching, ELO Engineering delivers both processes under one roof at our Minneapolis facility. Our Trumpf TruLaser 3030 fiber and CO2 laser cutting stations run alongside three dedicated turret punch stations, giving your program a single-source partner for blanking, forming, and secondary operations — no job splitting, no handoff between shops, no variation introduced by multiple suppliers.
Turret punching capabilities and forms
ELO Engineering's turret punching operation handles a full range of sheet metal forms in a single setup. Our tooling library covers the features OEM engineers commonly specify — reducing secondary operations and keeping your cost per part as low as possible.
Louvers — directional airflow features formed in a single hit, common in enclosures and panels
Flanges — up-formed edges for structural stiffness and assembly alignment
Card guides — precision-formed channels for PCB and component retention
Extrusions — extruded holes for threading, common in control panels and chassis
Embossments — raised or recessed features for stiffening and locating
Taps — thread tapping for direct fastener engagement without secondary operations
Countersinks — flush fastener features formed in-press
Slits and notches — precise cutouts and relief features
Custom shapes — our tooling library minimizes the need for special tooling on non-standard geometries
Our large tooling library allows us to tackle a wide variety of tasks and minimize the need for custom tooling

One supplier for laser cutting and punching. Zero handoffs.
ELO Engineering's turret punching operation is built for contract manufacturers and OEM programs that run consistent production volumes. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system covers every punched part — from first article through production releases — with full documentation available for your program file.
Where turret punching is the right process for your part geometry and volume, we'll tell you. Where laser cutting delivers better economics or tighter tolerances, we'll run it on our Trumpf TruLaser 3030 instead. For parts that benefit from both — blanked on the laser, formed on the turret — we sequence the operations in-house without the lead time or coordination overhead of a second supplier.
