Press Brake Die Solutions

Wilson Tool offers three options for press brake die solutions. You can choose the standard Induction Hardening option, upgrade to the premium Nitrex option, or for the highest level of performance , the superior Slipmax option is available.

STANDARD GO-TO OPTION

  • Induction hardening at a hardness of 55–58HRC.
  • Minimum penetration depth of 4mm providing greater stability of hardness.
  • Contact areas with the sheet are fully hardened.
  • Substrate material manufactured from premium tool steel to tight tolerances.
  • Improves wear resistance of the die so you can bend aggressive materials, ideal for any material thickness.
  • Increases the fatigue life of the die, so you can go for longer, ideal for thick material thickness plate.

PREMIUM OPTION

  • Ultra surface hardness enhancement of 70 HRC.
  • Consistent penetrative depth of 0.1mm.
  • High fatigue resistance; treatment is not conducive of cracking or fracturing.
  • Ultra hard wear resistance.
  • Exhibits self-lubricating properties; reducing co-efficient of friction and reduces cold welding.
  • Ideal for thin plate material thickness up to 4mm in thickness.

SUPERIOR OPTION FOR ALUMINIUM AND GALVANISED

  • Extreme surface hardness enhancement of over 95HRC.
  • Consistent hardness of 2µm resulting in no dimensional changes to the die.
  • Perfect when bending Aluminium or Electrolytic materials, such as Galvanised steel or Zintec.
  • Radically reduces cold welding and galling when bending with such materials, up to 1000% extra bend life before cleaning.
  • Fundamentally results in significantly less down time for cleaning of the dies. 
  • Ideal for thin material thickness material, up to 3mm thickness.
