Thick Material Bending Solutions
When you work with heavy or abrasive materials such as stainless, hardened steel or parts that are not completely de-burred, you can wear out the shoulders of a die long before the entire die is worn out. Replacing the entire die is expensive, so Wilson Tool International offers two different solutions depending upon your needs.

Adjustable Dies
Adjustable dies are a great solution for bending thick materials when you need the flexibility to adjust the width of the V opening. Instead of buying several dies, adjustable dies let you to change the width, rather than changing out the die. The die can remain on the press permanently and function as a standard die holder and is capable of withstanding tonnage of up to 300 tons per foot. Radius or paddle inserts on the shoulder are replaceable, avoiding the cost of purchasing a new die. A cover bellow (not shown) helps keep the grooves free from dirt and dust. See the back of this flyer for an overview of the many different configurable options that are available.
Replaceable Shoulder Dies
Dies that have a replaceable shoulder radius are ideal for extreme wear conditions like heavy plate and abrasive materials. Replacing just the shoulder insert saves on replacement costs.
Since the radius is able to rotate during bending, friction and tonnage are reduced, resulting in reduced part marking and less tonnage on tooling and machinery.
