Three benefits of WILA BendSense Technology

Maximize the up-time of your investment in automation. An automated process gives you control and predictable output. Until the process gets disrupted. Learn what WILA BendSense Technology can do for your press brake productivity.

No need to teach the robot
with every new or displaced tool

Teaching a robot the location and pick-up point of every press brake tool in the machine is a time-consuming job. Have you added a new tool to the storage system? Did you take out the tools for inspection and cleaning? Has something unexpected happened during bending? With our BendSense Technology, the control software is always aware of the location of every tool. No more teaching!

Eliminate mistakes
when selecting tools

Using the wrong tools can be costly and even dangerous. Whether you perform a manual tool set-up or you load a tool into the tool storage of an automated press brake: mistaking a tool for a similar looking one can happen to anybody. This leads to rejected parts and unsafe situations. Our integrated sensor system eliminates mistakes ensuring a smooth bending operation.

Avoid crashes
due to incorrect tool positions or unidentified items

When a press brake tool is in the wrong position it can run into other tools or into the sheet metal part. Crashes like these cause damage and create unsafe situations. BendSense Technology integrated into WILA Tool Holders locates and identifies the tools in the machine. The control software will only allow you to start bending when all tools are identified and positioned in a way that no crash will occur.
