Turret press tool clamp has replaceable cylinder

Wilson Tool International has developed a range of clamp assemblies for Amada turret punch presses that incorporate a replaceable air/hydraulic cylinder.

Wilson Tool International has developed a range of clamp assemblies for Amada turret punch presses that incorporate a replaceable air/hydraulic cylinder. The new clamp eliminates the cost incurred to replace the complete clamp assembly due to wear or breakdown because the cylinder is fully integrated into the main framework of the original clamp. As well as standard clamps, Wilson Tool International has stocks at Swindon suitable for all types of material including heavy duty applications.

Here, Wilson recommends its carbide upper clamp with a knurled lower plate.

When marking the material is an issue, urethane boots can be supplied for the upper clamp units in conjunction with smooth lower clamps.

As part of the Wilson retrofit design, parts of the clamp are fully compatible with the original machine design and individual elements can be supplied via the Wilson next day delivery service.
