A-Plus series tools
Fabricators who need to create forms beyond the constraints of their current Trumpf-style punch press tooling now have more forming freedom with the A-Plus series from Wilson Tool International.
This new line of special tools extends the range of forming in the A-dimension by an inch or more, allowing for longer and larger forms on Trumpf machines. The tools include louvers, lance and forms, and card guides.
More range and enhanced features
The new A-Plus series louver tool, which achieves a 4.0-inch (101.6mm) maximum range in the A-dimension, is specially designed with built-in stripping in the lower unit for trouble free sheet travel and simple programming. It also has a replaceable forming unit in the die for cost effective refurbishment.
With an expanded 3.5-inch (88.9mm) maximum A-dimension range, the new lance and form tool allows fabricators to reach beyond the limitations of standard tooling. Lance and forms are particularly useful in applications such as air flow, decoration, location markers, sheer tabs, wire harnesses and clip attachments.
The new card guide tool adds a full inch of range in the A-dimension for a 3.4-inch (86.4mm) maximum. Wilson Tool has reengineered this tool to be more effective and efficient than any competing product, eliminating the need for plastic inserts and secondary operations to reduce long-term costs.
Machine requirements
A-Plus series tooling is available for most Trumpf Group I machines, the Pullmax 720 machine, and requires a modified cartridge.
