Wila introduces pneumatic clamping systems

Wila has introduced its new line of upper and lower New Standard Premium Pneumatic Clamping Systems with patented Self-Locking mechanism for press brakes.

Designed for use with all Wila New Standard punches and dies, these pneumatic clamping systems use normal shop air pressure. Tool segments are clamped and positioned individually using clamping pins, which are in turn controlled via special self-adjusting wedges.

When the wedges are engaged, they become an integral part of the tool and ensure that the tools remain clamped even if there is a loss of air pressure. Clamping is also released pneumatically; thus, no hydraulic oil is needed.

The Pneumatic Clamping Systems with Self-Locking mechanism clamp and unclamp tools extremely fast, further increasing the speed of tool changes and further increasing press brake productivity. These Self-Locking New Standard Premium Pneumatic Clamping Systems (models NSCL-II-SL/UPB top clamping and OB-II-SL/UPB bottom clamping) are especially well suited for electric press brakes and press brakes with automatic tool change.
