The Quick Tool Change System for Proform and Maxform press brakes from Cincinnati Incorporated allows faster setups and eliminates bad bends due to improperly seated tools. The factory-installed power clamping system bolts directly to the ram and is integrated into the machine’s hydraulic system, eliminating the need for an external pump.
The Quick Tool Change System is available for use with American-style upper tools with standard safety tongues, and lower tools with 1/2 in wide tongues. Available for all major die manufacturers with self-seating tooling, the system automatically self-seats V-notched American style upper tools. Standard tools without V-notches will clamp without self-seating.
The work surfaces of the Quick Tool Change System are treated with Nitrex high-endurance surface enhancement, providing a surface hardness of 70 HRc with a maximum load capacity of 30 tons/sq in. For upper tools, the clamp body is 3 in (76.2 mm) wide for minimal part interference, and tool segment lengths greater than 1/2 in are securely clamped via individual hardened pins. For lower tools, a 1.56 in (39.6 mm) tall by 3.43 in (87.1 mm) wide clamp unit is positioned on top of a 3.25 in (82.5 mm) by 2.36 in (59.9 mm) filler block, providing easy front-to-back alignment. The clamp/unclamp key switch is conveniently located on the right side of the press brake control for easy access.
