Adjust labor times for punching

In Punch Maintenance, you can view, add, and modify punch time information to match the time standards of your shop. If necessary, you can also add new punch types or create a list of punch rates. The punch times set in Punch Maintenance are used when you directly apply them to an estimating job as additional labor.

Note that when the material thickness exceeds the punch capacity, Tekla EPM automatically switches to drill times. You can modify the punch capacity in the Fabrication Information - Operations dialog box. For more information, see Modify labor operation settings.
