Wilson Tool - Staged bending

As smaller press brake runs become more routine, valuable production time is often lost on performing multiple setups. Press brake fabricators can significantly improve productivity by minimizing setup time with staged bending solutions from Wilson Tool.

Our progressive approach to press brake tooling can improve workflow and help make even complex short runs more cost effective. Staged bending enables press brake operators to carryout multiple bends with a single setup. With staged bending, groups of tooling are set up progressively along the press brake then all bends on a single part are preformed in succession.

Staged bending

Staged bending simplifies complex short-run jobs by eliminating unproductive repetitive tasks - significantly reducing setup time, part handling and work-in-progress.

Wilson Tool now offers staged tooling in both the American and European tooling lines.

Maximize your press brake productivity with staged bending solutions from Wilson Tool!

Remove Galling Quickly and Easily

Q: Can you recommend an easy method for removing galling (material build-up) from the sides of some of our punch tips?

A: Yes. Galling is a troublesome problem which causes premature tool wear and poor quality parts. We offer a product that works great for removing galling. It’s a 4” (102mm) diameter by 1” (25mm) wide rubberized abrasive wheel that can be mounted on a grinder with a 0.152” (13mm) arbor. Holding the sides of the punch tip to the spinning wheel with light pressure will quickly remove all material build-up. This is the same method we use when cleaning up and sharpening punches for our customers.
