Tricks of the Trade
Q: Is there a way to increase the overall height of my existing Standard Wilson American Precision tooling to bend larger boxes without ordering special tooling?
A: Yes! A Wilson American Precision punch holder increases the height of standard tooling by 2-, 3- or 4-inches – giving you the taller tool you need to bend larger boxes. Using a punch holder eliminates the need to invest in special tools. Wilson American Precision punch holders accommodate the unique patented push button loading technology used in Wilson American Precision tooling and can be used in either the upper or lower beam of a press brake.
There are additional advantages to using punch holders in American style press brakes. The set screws on a punch holder help to hold sectionalized tooling in place. Also, if the beams of a press brake are damaged or gouged, a punch holder is an alternative to refinishing your press brake or purchasing a new press brake.
