Have you read the Getting Started Guide?

Is the punching press a CNC machine now?

If so is it stepper or servo driven?

Hello JT,
I am starting the manual now,
this machine is an old cnc machine for metal sheet fabrication.
it contains :
three pwm driven dc servo motors
x-motor
y-motor
z-motor for rotate the punching tools head,bringing the next tools
and a hydraulic piston go up and down ,press the tool to make a hole in the sheet .

moving x and y motor ok
how to rotate z-motor to bring the suitable tool?
and the make the punch process

and what about the g-code for this machine?

That would be handled as a tool-change. (M6 TN command)

and the make the punch process
and what about the g-code for this machine?

What does the current G-code use to start the punch move?
I could imagine that what you would want would be to punch at the end of any G1 move, and not at the end of a G0 move.

You could use a M100 script to punch that way you will wait in that spot till the punch is retracted if you have a sensor on the punch.
