EXP® Punch Tip Tooling

EXP® punch tip holders provide you greater flexibility because they fit into multiple styles of tooling, allowing you to enjoy the ease, speed and durability of EXP for all your punch tooling needs.

EXP holders are available the following tool styles:

• A & B-station Wilson HP/HP2 and HP/HP2 ABS
• A & B-station Wilson and Metric Thick Turret 
• A & B-station Ultra® 
• B-station Thin Strippit 
• MTX Multi-tools 
• Salvagnini

Wilson Tool’s patented EXP® holders for thick turret tooling now feature an easy-to-use button release for changing punch tips. The same strength and reliability — now with the push of a button. Spend more time in production and less time looking for the blue key.

A fraction of the size of standard punches, EXP® punches are more productive, more durable, and more affordable than any other punch press tooling. Faster setups result in less downtime. Ultima® tool steel makes EXP punches last 2X longer. Standard holders with universal punches make it practical to replace only the punch. Smaller punches mean you can stock more shapes in less space. EXP punches also require significantly less material to produce, resulting in less waste.

“EXP® punch technology really helped us with our setup. It cut our setup time down by at least two minutes, which is especially helpful because we run a lot of small orders, so we do setups all day long. We’re in the process of changing all of our tools over to EXP®. We don’t have to sharpen the tools as much as we used to, and when we do replace a tool, we don’t have to buy the whole tool. EXP® allows us to just buy the tip, which really helps on costs. Our operators really love EXP®. The amount of time it took to sharpen or replace a broken tool, and frustrations our operators had to go through to get that punch body out of the machine created a lot of downtime. Now just changing the tip is a quick adjustment and we’re ready to go.”

– James Adams, Eaton’s Cooper Lighting, Vicksburg, Mississippi

“It used to be you’d get 500,000 hits from a tool without having to sharpen it and now it’s one million or two million hits before you need to re-sharpen. Grind life has increased signicantly; the life is almost double with some tooling.”
