Wila has introduced its American Vintage Precision press brake tooling. This new line of tooling is designed to give fabricators who have been purchasing planer made tooling a more precise, flexible and durable selecion of punches and dies for use with their American style press brakes at affordable pricing.

Wila American Vintage tooling is manufactured in traditional Imperial dimensioning using high quality tool steel. All punches and dies are available in solid 20 in. lengths, 18.5 in. sectionalized sets, and 8 in. sectionalized sets. This makes it possible for the fabricator to quickly make any needed tooling length from ¾ in. up to machine length in ¼ in. increments.

American Vintage Punch lengths weighing 28 lbs or less come with Wila’s patented Safety-Clicks for vertical loading and unloading. The punches can be used in standard American ram clamps available on all press brakes designed for American tooling. The punch tangs are pre-machined with self-seating grooves for use with Wila American Style hydraulic clamping systems for fastest set-up times.

All American Vintage tools are CNC-hardened at the bending radii to minimum Rockwell HRC-52 to a minimum depth of 0.080 in. and precision ground to +/- 0.0008 in. The CNC-hardening process maintains tool accuracy six to eight times longer than unhardened planer made tools, claims the company.

Tool segments are interchangeable and guaranteed to match up. The punches come in a standard working height of 4.750 in. and the single-V die have a common working height of 2.125 in. Versatile punch profiles allow the fabricator to form more parts with less tooling. Tools are available for air bending as well as bottom bending.
