Tooling

Perfectionists as we are at Wila, we leave nothing to chance. That holds true for our tooling range as well. Each tool model has been carefully selected and designed to fit into a tooling program that meets the many needs for bending a huge range of sheet parts in varying material types and thicknesses. The great selection of high quality tools means having the right tool available for practically any bending requirement.

Safety-Click®
The essence of the New Standard , American Style and American Vintage top tools is the patented safety mechanism Safety-Click®, which is part of the top tool. This enables the vertical changeover of tool segments by simply clicking them in and out of the holder  vertically. Safety-Click® also makes it possible to automatically change the tools in the New Standard line with a robot.

The advantages of New Standard, American Style and American Vintage Tooling

• Quick and easy tool exchange
• Exceptionally precise, safe and flexible.
• Unsurpassed in speed and precision.
• Construction according to the high Wila standards.
• Exceptionally long life span.

Standard program
The Wila standard program includes a broad range of tools in the categories New Standard Premium, New Standard Pro, American Style and American Vintage.

• Top tools (BIU)
  New Standard Premieum and Pro BIU tooling suitable for all New Standard Premium and New Standard Pro clampings. American Style and American Vintage tooling  suitable  for use with all Wila Clamping systems  in the American Style program. Also suitable for use directly in the American press brake  ram clamping plates
•  Bottom tools (OZU)
  To be used on all press brakes fitted with a clamping slot measuring 13.5 x 22 mm/0.531”x0.866” (WxH). The OZU’s with a work height of 100 mm/3.937” in the New Standard Premium program and the New Standard Pro OZU’s are provided with extra large bending radii (approx. 20% of the V-opening) as standard. With these large shoulder radii marking on the sheet material will be minimal, while any protective foil will stay intact much longer.

Different tools, same advantages
Despite the differences in function, geometry and clamping principle, all  tools have the same advantages:

• New Standard Premium tools, American Style  and American Vintage  are available for both air bending and bottom bending.
• All tools are delivered modularly in a number of standard lengths.
