Crowning Systems

Features

NEW STANDARD CROWNING

WILA Crowning systems fully compensate for the deflection in press brakes. This results in a consistent bending angle across the entire length of the machine. WILA New Standard Crowning Systems utilize  a  series of patented adjustable wedges known as Wila Waves.

WILA TOOLING CATALOG

Eliminate press brake tolerances: Tx- and Ty axis

The accuracy of the bending process is determined by the tolerances along the Ty and Tx axis: vertical and horizontal axis. The Ty axis value is decisive in determining the parallelism between punches and dies. The Ty axis adjustment, which is normally incorporated into the bottom of the Crowning Systems and Bottom Tool Holder, is able to easily and effectively correct accumulated machine tolerance across the length of the whole machine. The Tx axis value relates to the position of the bending axis in relation to the back gauge, critical for producing accurate flange lengths. The Tx axis adjustment has been included in all Tool Holders suitable for press brakes featuring the Universal Press Brake (UPB) hole pattern.

Heavy Duty

WILA’s New Standard ‘HD’ Heavy Duty Tooling System are a selection of Premium Tool Holders (Clamping and Crowning systems) that have been specially designed for high tonnage bending applications.

The WILA Wave

New Standard Crowning Systems are based on the WILA Wave System. This opposing wave technology automatically supports dies across the length of the press brake. The different  angles built into the waves automatically compensate for machine deflection from a single adjustment point. Lateral adjustments are also possible for correcting machine and tooling tolerances at specific locations.
