The WILA Tool Advisor

Design and order press brake tools online

In addition to WILA's Webshop, it is also possible to get quick and easy online tool advice with WILA's Tool Advisor. This high-end engineering application enables online selection of which press brake tools are best suited to a specific bending problem. In case there is no suitable standard tool, it is even possible to directly design a custom tool and order it directly online. That is the power of the WILA Tool Advisor!

User-centered

The WILA Tool Advisor is also a way for press brake manufacturers and distributors to assist the end user in solving a specific bending issue. Moreover, the Tool Advisor is a clear signal that WILA is increasingly making the end user part of his own engineering process which is entirely in line with Industry 4.0.

Ease of use

The WILA Tool Advisor is a model of ease of use. Anyone who creates an account at www.wilatooling.com can immediately go through the Tool Advisor step by step. Starting with the WILA Tool Advisor can be done in two ways: starting from a specific bending problem or by directly designing a custom tool. In the latter case, the user knows which standard WILA tool needs to be modified to make a tool specifically tailored to his bending problem.

Optimal advice

To generate the best possible advice, the Tool Advisor allows the user to enter additional data. Data such as type of press brake, type of press brake tool as well as type and thickness of the material to be bent. In addition, the end user can make a two-dimensional sketch of his sheet metal product.

Based on all this data, the WILA Tool Advisor arrives at a suitable recommendation. This involves first determining whether a tool from the existing WILA New Standard Premium range matches the bending requirement. Where possible, even different tool suggestions are made. Issues such as price, load capacity and general applicability are examined in more detail. Thereby, it is also indicated how well each suggestion scores on each of these points so that the user can make an informed decision.

Tool design

Users are also given the option online to design their own custom-made tools. Primarily, the starting point is a tool from the existing WILA range that comes as close as possible to the ideal solution of the bending problem. If this is not sufficient, the user can adjust the tool's parameters to design the ideal solution to his bending problem, his own tool.

Since the WILA Tool Advisor is part of the WILA webshop, the price and delivery time of each solution (including specials) are calculated immediately. Offcourse, it is also possible to place an order.
