Satisfy Fabricators' Need for Speed
Two innovative ways to make press brake setups faster and leaner from Wilson Tool
WHITE BEAR LAKE, MINN. (Oct. 15, 2007) - Press brake fabricators tired of losing productivity to die changes now have two new ways to dramatically speed up the process from Wilson Tool International. Both the PowerExpress® die clamp and Express Clamp® die holder eliminate the need for tedious set screws, allowing users to change dies in moments.
The Power of Push Button Die Clamping
The automated PowerExpress hydraulic die clamp offers one touch clamping for American-style press brakes. Upon loading the die, the press operator simply presses a button to securely and accurately clamp the die in place. Another press of the button unclamps the die for fast changeouts.
Designed for easy use and handling, the PowerExpress die clamp is made in two-foot modular sections that can be installed by a single press brake operator. Together with Wilson's PowerExpress upper beam clamp, the die clamp provides a complete hydraulic clamping system for leaner, more productive bending.
Rapid Die Setups are a Lock with One Pull
Wilson Tool's new Express Clamp mechanical die holder provides instant and secure clamping with the pull of a lever. Reversing the motion releases the die just as easily. This time-saving product is compatible with virtually any make or model of American-style press brake.
Both the automated PowerExpress and the mechanical Express Clamp are treated with Wilson Tool's exclusive Nitrex(TM) high endurance surface enhancement. Wilson's patented process provides a surface hardness of HRC-70 to significantly extend clamp life.
