Wilson Tool’s Brake Partner tooling holder allows use of punch press tooling in press brakes to produce forms

Wilson Tool International has introduced the Brake Partner™, which allows the use of new or existing punch press tooling in a press brake to produce forms that would otherwise need to be made in a punch press.

It gives shops the ability to perform punch press operations in-house, even when no punching machine is available, and to expand the capabilities of their existing press brakes.

The tooling holder, which is manufactured to fit in almost any press brake, features spring pads to absorb impact and can be used with or without guideposts, depending on the application.
