All applications

New Standard Crowning

WILA crowning systems completely compensate for deflection in a press brake. This ensures a constant bending angle over the entire length of the machine.

The benefits of WILA New Standard Crowning Systems

When bending sheet material on a press brake, the forces released can cause the upper and lower beams to deform. As a result, there is less penetration of the punches in the center of the press brake, leading to angular deviations in the product. WILA crowning systems completely compensate for the deflection in a press brake, resulting in a constant bending angle over the entire length of the machine. Our crowning systems use a range of patented adjustable wedges known as WILA Wave Wedges.
