Coated tooling available for Wiedemann presses
Wilson Tool International has launched a new range of turret punch press tooling specifically to suit Murata Wiedemann machines.
Shows staged on both sides of English Channel
Simultaneous open houses and technical seminars staged jointly by Wilson Tool International and LVD drew around 400 visitors and attracted orders.
The Wilson Tool High Performance (trademark) HP range utilises Wilson's existing top-selling Series 90 punches and stripper plates.
The range is available to suit Wilson Lubricating System (WLS), the Amada airblow system (ABS), Old Style M12 punch bodies and is fully compatible with the Amada PDC tooling system.
All holders are produced from high quality hardened tool steel to ensure maximum durability with Wilson's patented Optima (trademark) coating applied to keys to ensure minimum wear.
External keyways are set at 0 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees which enables angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180 (degrees), 270 degrees and 315 (degrees) to be obtained.
As with all Wilson punch press tooling, maximum regrind life from the tool is a prime productivity gain which enables tool inventory to be controlled.
With the High Performance tool holders, up to 10mm of adjustment is available and can be achieved through the simple, 'push, turn and click' punch adjustment.
Also, each tool holder has a quick release stripper plate retention mechanism to enable fast and trouble free tool changes.
