Innovative Press Brake Tools Eliminate Secondary Operations, Lower Costs
The corner forming tool from Wilson Tool eliminates secondary operations by bending and finishing corners in the press brake, and their new Brake Partner holder mounts existing punch press tooling in a press brake to produce holes and forms in-house.
Connective Forms Make Fastening Faster
Incorporating connective forms into your existing fabrication assembly process adds functionality to sheet metal components in the place of conventional fastening methods. Available for most styles of punch press, connective forming tools remove secondary welding, fasting and clipping operations to reduce assembly time and produce valuable cost savings.
Wireless Pressure Monitoring of Nitrogen Gas Springs and Systems
Through 24-hour monitoring and documentation, the Wireless Pressure Monitoring system from Fibro achieves zero defects and prevents scrap for production stampers due to the loss of nitrogen gas spring or system pressure.
Fast and Easy Sharpening of Turret Press Tooling, Progressive Dies and Small Die Sets
The PDG Rotary Surface Grinder from DCM Tech has center-mounted rotary fixturing to hold punches and dies up to 6 ¼ in diameter, with fixture enhancements to sharpen dies up to 8 in and punch fixturing that allows sharpening of straight and shear angle punches with up to 10 deg pitch.

Built to Last: Sheet Metal Design with Strength in Mind
Sheet metal has a high strength-to-weight ratio and good malleability that can provide form and structure to products, but because it is flat and bends easily, it doesn’t always work. Here are some ways to increase the structural strength of flat sheet stock without adding gussets or increasing the weight of the product.
An Overlooked Way to Keep Up with Industry Change
Press operation requirements, inspection needs, improved die technology, tool room utilization and lean initiatives are all transforming the way shops compete. But what if you can’t keep the die in the press because of cheap tooling?

This new webstore features consumables and tooling for CO2 and fiber lasers and press brakes.
Can a Quality Hinge Be Formed in a Press or a Brake?
Curls, hinges, knuckles, and rolled edges can all be produced on sheet metal using either a punch press or a press brake. The primary difference is the amount of control and handling provided by the machine. When producing curl forms, here are some factors to consider to make sure the job is done right.
