EUROBLECHBound for Wider Horizons. Togetherby Timo Laurinen, Senior Correspondent“Getting an idea may take just a fraction ofa second, to turn it into an innovation requirestime, and for real know-how to accumulate, aconsiderable time span is always needed”, Mr.Tomas Hedenborg, President and CEO, wrotein an exhibition magazine distributed at theEUROBLECH. The exhibition is the world’sbiggest sheet metal working technology event,organized in Hanover every two years.Certainly, ideas, innovations and experience,things always associated with FINN-POWERand <strong>Prima</strong> Industrie, were visible to thousandsand thousands of visitors that came to see thefirst joint participation of the companies in atruly international exhibition.Under the theme, “Bound for WiderHorizons. Together.” the companies and theirglobal network gave the sheet metal workingworld a convincing impression of a strong unit,with the success of the integration processreflected from the general exhibition approachdown to minute details. Concrete proof wasprovided by the combined sales networkshowing its potential, in addition to being amassive marketing success, the exhibition madea solid entry into order books.An impressive line of new solutionsIn terms of new products, FINN-POWER's contribution was impressive. TheLPe6 punching – laser cutting cell had beenintroduced before, but it was a newacquaintance for many visitors. The E5 turretpunch press was exhibited equipped with anLST robot, now offering highly accuratestacking capability.The new Shear Brilliance ® had its worldpremiere, featuring hits speeds up to 1,400 on 1mm centers. A 30 or 24 station turret can bechosen. An example of the astonishingversatility is a 24 station turret: -- every stationcan be indexable.Based on extensive experience in applyingservo electric technology in automatic panelbendingsolutions, this concept was introducedon a new automation level. The new FastBendreplaces the press brake with the automaticbending technology, which allows more bendsfor each side in an automatic sequence withoutany manual intervention. In press braketechnology, a new, attractively priced servoelectric solution was introduced.One of the eye catchers was Tulus ® , a new,integrated and scalable software tool forintegrated management of the entire fabricationprocess from a single machine to factory-wideproduction process.8
FOCUS ON TOOLINGWILA MULTI-V DIESFlexibility Takes A Quantum Leapby David Bishop, Business Development Manager, WILA USAFor over 75 years, Wila has provided sheet metal fabricators aroundthe world with technologies that turn time into profit. Long before“Lean Manufacturing” came along, we were dedicated toeliminating waste and to helping our customers use less to do more. Tothat end, every Wila product is designed with maximum flexibility in mind.MULTI-V-MATIC ADJUSTABLE DIE FOR PRECISIONSHEET METAL APPLICATIONSThe latest example of Wila’songoing emphasis on flexibility is ournew Multi-V Adjustable Die System.All Wila Multi-V Dies are designed toprovide a wide range of V-openingswith a single die that rarely requireschanging. The flagship of this newproduct line is our Multi-V-MaticType I.1 Die. This unit is availablewith a CNC motor that is driven bythe control on the press brake, orwith a hand crank with digitalreadout. Units equipped with a CNCmotor make it possible to preprogramthe V-openings for specificjobs on the machine’s control, andchange from one V-opening toanother in a matter of seconds when going from one job to another, oreven when going from one bend to another. Changes in V-openings arealso very fast on units equipped with a hand crank, while the digitalreadout makes it easy to set the exact width of the V-opening and recordthe position for future use.The Multi-V-Matic Type I.1 Die provides an infinitely adjustablerange of V-openings from .236” (6mm) to 2.000” (51mm), making itpossible to bend everything from .024” (0.6mm) to .250” (6.3mm) mildsteel. The shoulder radii are hardened with Wila’s proprietary CNC-Deephardening process for maximum life and maximum long term accuracy.Because the V-opening is opened and closed by a CNC motor or handcrank, it can be used as a die holder when bending parts that require a tallsingle-V die. To provide added flexibility, it can also be used to makeacute angle bends and perform flattening operations for hemmingapplications when used with our hemming punches with built-in flatteningjaws. It currently represents the state of the art in press brake dietechnology, and is the closest thing yet to a “one die does it all” solution.MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE MULTI-V DIES FOR PLATEBENDING APPLICATIONSSo, what if you bend plate materials that are thicker than .250”(6.3mm)? No problem; Wila has a Multi-V Die solution for you too!These include our model B, D, and E Manually Adjustable Multi-V Dies.These units can be changed from one V-opening to another in a matter ofminutes by sliding out a simple set of spacer bars and replacing them withanother set, and then locking them in place with two set screws. That’s allthere is to an average set-up! They come with hardened rollers on theshoulders, which provide maximum life, maximum long term accuracy,reduced part marking, and reduced tonnage requirements. The model Bcan be adjusted from V-opening widths of .945” (24mm) to 4.882”(124mm). The model D can be adjusted from V-opening widths of2.559” (65mm) to 7.087” (180mm). And finally, the model E can beadjusted from V-opening widths of 4.724” (120mm) to 11.811” (300mm).To facilitate fast, safe, and easy loading and unloading, all WilaManually Adjustable Multi-V Dies are provided in modular lengths.This makes it possible to match them to the length of most press brakesand achieve virtually any bend length desired. The model B and D unitsare provided in lengths of 41.338” (1050mm), 39.370” (1000mm), 29.527”(750mm), and 19.685” (500mm) lengths, while the model B is alsoavailable in a length of 9.842” (250mm). Because of its weight, the modelE is limited to a length of 23.622” (600mm).Possibly the most desirable feature of our ManuallyAdjustable Multi-V Dies is the fact that, via theiradjustability and ability to handle a wide range of platebending applications, they rarely need to be removedfrom the press brake. This can virtually eliminate theneed for press brake and forklift operators to handlethe heavy, awkward, and often dangerous large singleV dies that are normally used to bend thick platematerials. And that alone provides for an invaluablemeasure of safety.Are your press brakes in need of greater flexibility?Would you like to get better utilization of your time anddo more with less? The solution is now available in theinnovative new line of dies in the Wila Multi-V DieSystem. After all, we’ve been providing our customerswith products that provide maximum flexibility forover 75 years.For more information, please contact:WILA USA7380 Coca Cola DriveHanover, MD 21076 USATel: 888-696-9452 / Fax: 443-459-5515Press Brake Productivity Web Site: www.wilausa.com9
