FORMING WITH
PRECISION TOOLING
ra m c l a m p i n g & c r o w n i n g s y s t e m s
EDGE press brakes, along with leading tooling system suppliers such as
Wila products pictured opposite page, help increase the efficiency of sheet metal
fabricators. Hydraulic ram clamping systems automatically clamp, seat, and align
tools to maximize EDGE productivity. EDGE setup times are
reduced by eliminating manual tightening of tools and manual die alignment.
Crowning systems provide deflection compensation over the entire bed length
of the machine. Crowning adjustment is made automatically using CNC powered
motor or manual hand crank. Crowning systems with integrated hydraulic
clamping reduce setup times and are easy to operate.

The Smart Tool Locator is an excellent option to further enhance
efficiencies for tooling placement and forming efficiencies. The
intelligent calibrated scale features LED lighting that clearly identifies
where tooling must be placed in the ram clamping system AND the
precision tooling
operator will see precisely where the metal needs to be bent.
Quick setups by automatically clamping and seating tools maximize EDGE

The LED lights automatically follow the bend sequence that has

bearing capacity. Tools are ground with extremely high precision and tool radii are
CNC deephardened to minimize wear and increase tool life. Segmented tooling
provides the flexibility to form any length part. Tool segments are easy for
operators to handle and can be vertically loaded on EDGE.

Thunder Jet’s 650 ton Edge is a key asset in the
ultra-competitive aluminum boat building and
distribution sector. Its tonnage capacity, combined
with its size, gives Thunder Jet the “Edge” by
allowing them to form stiffeners in heavy gauge
plate, thus improving strength and quality while
at the same time reducing manufacturing times,
material requirements and overall hull weight.
In a market that also experiences rapid change
in commercial customer demand and design, the
Edge’s other key benefit is maintaining our ability

Be in Compliance with OSHA and ANSI Regulations
In the manufacturing of all Accurpress equipment, safety is a consideration. However, a press brake can
only be safe when operated properly in accordance with the machine owner’s manual, and the specific
dictates of the applicable OSHA and ANSI regulations. Incorporated into the design stage are a number
of built-in features that serve to protect both the operator and the equipment if used correctly and
safely according to the instructions provided with each individual machine. The operational controls
have been created to maximize efficiency if used in accordance with the applicable ANSI and OSHA
regulations and in conjunction with adequate point of operation guarding chosen by the owner/user
for the specific job action.
Clear, concise, strategically placed decals serve as a constant reminder of specific hazards and steps
to be taken to avoid needless injury. Within the owner’s manuals are sections that highlight safety
concerns. Accurpress is committed to occupational health and safety, and has produced a safety manual as a means to
assist owners and operators in understanding and complying with their responsibilities with regard to the regulations
for the use and operation of press brakes and shears. Please consult the manual for additional information.
