FeatureSTORY
An Overview of
Precision-ground Tooling
This press brake tooling may be the best
choice for precision fabricators
By Gunter Glocker, President
Wila USA
Planer-made press brake tooling has been in use for
more than 100 years, continues to be widely used by many
companies, and will likely be used for many years to come.
However, with customers turning more and more to higher-precision, more
flexible press brakes, precision-ground and segmented press brake tooling are
gaining a greater market share to better complement these newer machines.
Where planer-made tooling has an important place in the market, and will
likely keep this place long-term, is for special combination tools, such as

corrugation dies, channel dies, curling dies, and special-radius form
tools.
With these special combination tools, the part typically is formed by
the shape of the tool combination in a bottoming process, and a precision-ground, hardened tool is not normally required. These combination
tools also can be manufactured more cost-effectively and faster as a
planer-made tool rather than as a hardened and precision-ground tool.
For standard and modified press brake tooling, precision-ground,
segmented, and hardened tooling has many advantages over planermade tooling. This is the case even for customers that are not forming
tight-tolerance parts.
The Tools
Vertically loading a Wila punch segment for quick set-up using
the hydraulic clamping system on the ram of the press brake.

When used in a press brake that is in good condition, precisionground tooling will always produce higher-quality parts than planermade tooling.
The accuracy of precision-ground tooling is within +/- 0.0008 in.,
and for some precision tooling lines, within +/- 0.0004 in. Planermade tooling normally has an accuracy range from +/- 0.002 in. to +/0.008 in.
With precision-ground tooling you can be sure that all punches and

The critical center point in both the Tx and Ty axis which is very important to maintain
over the length of the press brake in order to consistently produce quality parts.

dies will load into the press brake in exactly the same position every time. This is
very important because, in an average
setup requiring 30 to 35 minutes with
planer-made tooling, approximately half
of this time can be spent getting the flange
lengths correct. This is due to the constant
shift in the tooling center along the Tx axis
(backgauge origin) that occurs when
changing from one die to another.
It is extremely rare for two planer-made
tools to share exactly the same centerline.
Therefore, it is impossible to order a
punch or die at a later date and be assured
they will match.
More often than not, the only guarantee that you will get from the manufacturer is that they will not match, unless
you are willing to send back a section of
the original tooling so that the new tool
can be machined to match the original
tool.
Depending on the amount of wear
on the original tool, even that may be
impossible.
This always requires you to order tooling

FeatureSTORY
in lengths long enough to bend your longest part. Usually, that is
going to be the full length of the press brake, which can get very
expensive, especially when you consider the additional costs associated with cutting individual pieces out of various punches
and dies, and having to paint or color-code them so that you will
know which sections were cut from the same tool.
This may not work, either, as cutting a tool can relieve the
residual stresses that are created during the manufacturing
processes. When that happens, the individual sections may twist
or bow enough so that they will no longer line up. With precisionground tooling, you can purchase just the length of punch and
die sections that you need, and when additional tool lengths are
needed, the new tools are guaranteed to match up to the original
Precision-ground tools are also presegmented in a rational manner to facilitate making a tool combination quickly to form any
length part.
This also makes it easier to store the precision tooling in a
small tool cabinet by the press brake versus having to hunt for
tools in long tool racks.
Most precision-ground tooling manufacturers mark their tooling with part number, tool length, radius, load capacity, and other
critical information for easy identification and use. Obviously,
handling short tool segments is also more ergonomic and safer for
the press brake operator.
Parts that have holes for insertion of hardware, or holes that are
used for assembly to other components, are going to take more
18
time to assemble if they’re made with planer-made tools. Also,
inconsistencies in tooling heights along the Ty axis will result
in angular errors that must be compensated for via die shimming
or a crowning system.
All of this represents lost time and productivity.
Tool Hardening
Tool hardening is critical. Tooling that is hardened at the wear
areas, for example the punch tip radius and the shoulders of the V
die, will retain its accuracy for the long-term.
Some hardening processes are: flame hardening, nitriding,
laser hardening, and induction hardening.
Some of today’s precision-ground tooling is also available
with safety buttons that allow for fast vertical loading and unloading, rather than sliding tools in from the end of the press
brake.
This saves time especially when you must add to or reduce
tool lengths to form the inside of down flanges. Top and bottom
hydraulic clamping systems are also available that will self-seat
and automatically align precision-ground tooling in seconds.
Planer-made tooling has an important role as a cost-effective
solution for many special-application forming needs, but for
flexibility, accuracy, and speed in consistently producing quality
parts, precision-ground tooling is almost always the better
choice. ❑

WILA INTRODUCES
AMERICAN VINTAGE TOOLING
Wila is pleased to present its new line of American Vintage Precision Press Brake Tooling. This new
line of tooling is designed to give fabricators who have been purchasing planer made tooling a more precise, flexible and durable selection of punches and dies for use with their American style press brakes
at affordable pricing. Wila American Vintage tooling is manufactured in traditional Imperial dimensioning using high quality tool steel. All punches and dies are available in solid 20” lengths, 18.5” sectionalized
sets, and 8” sectionalized sets. This makes it possible for the fabricator to quickly make any needed
tooling length from 3/4” up to machine length in 1/4” increments. American Vintage Punch lengths
weighing 28 lbs or less come with Wila’s patented Safety-Clicks for vertical loading and unloading. The
punches can be used in standard American ram clamps available on all press brakes designed for American tooling. The punch tangs are pre-machined with self-seating grooves for use with Wila American Style
hydraulic clamping systems for fastest set-up times. All American Vintage tools are CNC-Hardened at the
bending radii to minimum Rockwell HRC-52 to a minimum depth of 0.080” and precision ground to +/0.0008”. The CNC-Hardening process maintains tool accuracy 6 – 8 times longer than unhardened
planer made tools. Tool segments are interchangeable and guaranteed to match up. The punches come
in a standard working height of 4.750” and the single-V die have a common working height of 2.125”. Versatile punch profiles allow the fabricator to form more parts with less tooling. Tools are available for air
bending as well as bottom bending. For more information, visit: www.wilausa.com.
