ATM fascias, vending bodies, parcel lockers and ticket terminals — dense cut-outs, a cosmetic front face that cannot be touched, and a design that changes every model year.
A kiosk enclosure is a cosmetic box full of holes. The front fascia carries cut-outs for a screen, a card reader, a printer, a keypad, a scanner and a cash or parcel aperture — each with a positional tolerance set by a bought-in module, not by your drawing. Body panels, doors and locker cells are then folded from 1.0 to 2.0 mm coated or stainless sheet, and the visible surface is a product feature the end customer looks at from thirty centimetres away.
Three capabilities follow. Tooling-free cut-outs, because module suppliers change footprints between generations and a die order cannot keep up: a turret punch produces repeating fixing and ventilation patterns, and a laser cuts the bespoke apertures. Positional accuracy of ±0.1 mm, so a bezel sits square against a screen without packing. And non-contact handling, because a scratch on a fascia is scrap at full value — vacuum pick-up moves the blank in the air and protective film stays on through forming.
STON CNC (Qingdao Ston Mechanical Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese original manufacturer of CNC panel benders and turret punch presses, founded in 2006 in Qingdao, China. All equipment described here is built inside STON CNC's own 20,000㎡ factory, from casting and heat treatment through machining, assembly and inspection. Machines carry ISO 9001 quality certification and CE marking under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and are exported to more than 80 countries. View certifications and patents →
Terminal enclosures divide into cosmetic front panels where cut-out accuracy and finish dominate, and structural bodies where four-sided folding and repetition dominate. Both sit in the same cell.
Screen, reader, printer and scanner footprints are defined by module suppliers who revise them on their own schedule. Any process that needs a dedicated die per aperture cannot follow. Turret punching for repeating fixing and ventilation patterns, plus laser cutting for bespoke apertures, means a module change is a program edit rather than a tooling order.
The front panel is the most expensive sheet metal part in the unit by the time it is coated, and it is the part a customer looks at closely. Handling damage cannot be polished out of a powder-coated or brushed fascia. Vacuum pick-up with a patented 360° rotating feeder keeps the visible face out of contact from blank to stack, with protective film retained through forming.
A locker bank is dozens of identical cells in a body that changes with every site. The cells reward automation and repetition; the body rewards changeover speed. Configuring for only one of the two is the most common mistake we see in this sector.
Fascia-led products and locker-led products pull the configuration in different directions. Most manufacturers make both, so the cell has to serve both.
Terminal enclosures usually sit inside the forming window, with two exceptions worth checking early: heavy outdoor plinths and small bezel components.
| Paramètres | Plieuse de tôles | Turret punch | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical enclosure gauge | 1.0–2.0 mm | 1.0–2.0 mm | Well inside capacity |
| Cold-rolled / coated max | ≤2.0 mm cast / ≤1.5 mm welded | Set by tonnage and tool | Heavy plinths may exceed this |
| Stainless steel max | ≤1.2 mm cast / ≤1.0 mm welded | Set by tonnage | For outdoor and vandal-resistant units |
| Max forming size | up to 2800 × 1500 mm | X 2500 mm, secondary to 5000 mm | By model |
| Min four-sided inner size | approx. 140 × 190 mm | — | Small bezels check here |
| Positional accuracy of cut-outs | — | ±0.1 mm | Repeatability approx. ±0.01–0.02 mm |
| Angle accuracy | approx. ±0.5°/m | — | Decides fascia fit against the body |
| Straightness | approx. 0.2 mm/m | — | Decides door and seal alignment |
| Surface handling | Vacuum pick-up and brush composite table — no contact with the cosmetic face | Film retained | |
| Utilities | Three-phase 380 V, 0.6 MPa air | 380 V ±5%, 0.55 MPa air | Configured to destination voltage |
Four-sided fascias, bodies, doors and locker cells in 1.0–2.0 mm with dense module cut-outs and a cosmetic visible face. Tooling-free punching plus non-contact handling is exactly the combination this sector needs.
Deep-drawn housings, extruded frame profiles, roll-formed structural members, small bezel components below the minimum four-sided forming size, and heavy plinths above 2.0 mm at full bend length.
Base plinths in heavier gauge, anchoring plates, vandal-resistant reinforcement and prototype fascias. A press brake alongside the cell handles all of these without disrupting volume work.
Risk assessment follows EN ISO 12100; safety-related control functions such as light-curtain interruption and emergency stop are specified to EN ISO 13849-1. Hydraulic press brakes supplied into the EU are built against EN 12622. Machines placed on the EU market carry CE marking under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC with the accompanying technical file. Quality management is certified to ISO 9001, and machined structural tolerances follow ISO 2768. For outdoor and semi-outdoor terminals, IEC 60529 defines the IP code the enclosure is tested against, and structural elements are commonly designed to EN 1993-1-1. Both apply to your product rather than the machine — but the panel straightness and angle consistency an ingress test depends on are established at the forming stage.
On the machines this means fully enclosed rear fencing, protective covers on all protruding moving parts, laser guarding that halts motion when the protected zone is broken, over-tonnage protection on turret punch presses, and grating-ruler offset-load detection on panel benders.
Fascia panels are the clearest case in sheet metal for a combined machine, because a single panel carries both repeating patterns and bespoke apertures.
| Fiber laser | CNC turret punch | Punch-laser combined | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bespoke module apertures | Best — no tooling | Limited to tooling | Good |
| Repeating fixing and vent patterns | Pierces each hole | Fastest | Fastest |
| Both on the same panel | Two setups or slow | Two setups | One clamping |
| Thread preparation and ribs | No | Yes | Yes |
| Positional accuracy between features | Good within one nest | ±0.1 mm | No re-clamping error |
| Floor space | Moderate | Moderate | approx. 40% less than both |
| Best for | Prototypes and short runs | Locker cells and repeat bodies | Fascias with mixed features |
| Does STON supply it? | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Where a fascia carries a screen aperture, a card reader window and a ventilation array on one panel, a combined machine removes the re-clamping between them — which is exactly where positional error between a bezel and its module normally comes from.
Figures below describe the direction and mechanism of the change. Actual results depend on your part mix, batch size and shift pattern — we model them against your own drawings before quoting.
| Item | Laser plus press brakes | Punch and bend cell |
|---|---|---|
| Fascia with mixed features | Two setups, re-clamping error | One clamping |
| Bezel-to-module fit | Packing and adjustment at assembly | ±0.1 mm positional accuracy |
| Cosmetic face damage | Handling at every stage | No contact, film retained |
| Locker cell repetition | Operator-paced | Automatic loading and stacking |
| New module footprint | Re-nesting and re-proving | Program edit |
| Changeover between models | Tool swap and gauge reset | Program recall |
| Heavy plinths above 2 mm | Handled | Stay on the press brake |
Payback logic we use with customers: (annual labour released + reduction in rework and scrap + additional saleable output) ÷ installed equipment cost. We build this with your real numbers rather than publishing a headline figure that would not match your plant.
Module apertures, fixing patterns and ventilation on one fascia in a single clamping — no re-clamping error between a bezel and its screen cut-out. Roughly 40% less floor space than two separate machines.

View PBS series →Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Qingdao, one hour from major export ports and the airport. Casting, heat treatment, machining, welding, assembly and inspection all happen inside our own 20,000㎡ factory. That is why a configuration change for a terminal enclosure cell does not become a six-month subcontracting problem.
Terminal rollouts are scheduled site by site, and a delayed batch of fascias delays installation crews rather than a warehouse. Response time and spare parts availability belong in the purchase decision.
