Wila New Standard Top Tools

WILA New Standard top tools

The essence of New Standard top tools is the Safety-Click, a safety mechanism which is incorporated into the tool.

This offers the possibility to:

·         load tools vertically, simply by clicking them into and out of the holder. Of course, tools can still be changed horizontally by sliding them in and out of the end of the ram.

·         reduce changeover times.

·         build in top tools with the pressure surface on top or on the shoulders of the adaptation. 

Because the New Standard adaptation is symmetrical to the centre line, reversing the tool

(over the x-axis) is also possible, providing additional versatility. Safety-Clicks are used;

·         for tools weighing up to 12.5 kg. If the tool weighs more than 12.5 kg, it is equipped with Safety pins, over 25 kg with keys and can only be changed horizontally.

·         up to 100 mm in length one Safety-Click

·         over 100 mm two Safety-Clicks

CNC-Deephardening

CNC-Deephardening is a hardening process developed by Wila specifically for use in press brake tooling. The specific properties of this process make it 'the' process to apply a superior functional hardening layer. Applying the hardened layer is very well controlled; the hardening depth can be influenced with great - consistent  - accuracy and no additional stresses are brought into the product. Based on many years of research and experience, we have determined that the bending radii of press brake tooling should at least be hardened to 54 HRc; this value can be fully guaranteed by using the CNC-Deephardening process. Compared to the other hardening processes like laser hardening, nitrating etc., CNC-Deephardening results in a product with a superior longevity.
