An overview of all bending applications and techniques.

All applications

High-precision bending

Sheet metal products are becoming ever more complex, with higher demands on product tolerances. WILA invests heavily in research and development to create innovations that enable high precision bending.

Smart Tool Management

For easy access, tools should be stored near the press brake. You should also be able to quickly identify them, so you can easily enter the tool data into the press brake control. This will save time and prevent mistakes during changeovers.

Automatic Tool Change

Automated press brakes can be provided with Automatic Tool Change, a universal robot gripper with ATC tooling enabling the fully automatic bending of small batches of various products in random order.

Easy installing

WILA’s innovative and super-fast New Standard and American Style clamping systems can be installed on any press brake, new or used. Working together with press brake manufacturers and distributors, we offer press brake users a fully integrated solution.
