Coated tooling available for Wiedemann presses

Wilson Tool International has launched a new range of turret punch press tooling specifically to suit Murata Wiedemann machines.

Wilson Tool International the world's largest independent manufacturer of punch press tooling has launched a new range of turret punch press tooling specifically to suit Murata Wiedemann machines. The new Wilson Tool range includes 10 standard shapes for 112 and 114 style tools as well as special forms, standard and non-standard keying locations and will allow the award-winning Wilson Wheel Tool to be applied for cost-effective forming and slitting. A major productivity advantage to Wiedemann users will be the availability of Wilson's patented Optima high performance coating which can extend tool life between regrinds by up to 500 per cent.

With the tool coating, galling is reduced on the tips of the punch and corner breakdown is far less of a problem.

Wiedemann's punches can be supplied flat or with roof top shear while special shear styles can be produced to order.

Stripper options are available as customised moulded strippers as well as standard 70dA, which is a very light duty stripper, through to 95dA for heavy duty applications.

Available within the Wiedemann 114 style punch and die adapter set is the award-winning Wilson Wheel range of tooling.

Wheel Tools are available for rolling shear, rolling pincher, rolling offset and rolling rib applications.

In addition, a series of special shaped punches can be specified as well as tooling options involving special tolerances, widths, clearances, die reliefs, lands or ejector holes.
