Central to the Wilson Tool programme is the launch of its competitively priced five and 10 station multi-tool holders, punches and dies providing a high level of versatility for Trumpf TC 2000R, TC 2020R, TC 5000R and TC 6000L punch presses.
Wilson is also showing its top-selling 2.4.1 punch press tooling system which provides an unmatched, double the regrind life of traditional tooling.
The launch of the 2.4.1 die incorporates the die holder, die blade and high precision spacers and will provide an increase in the regrind life to an unprecedented 2 mm.
Users of the Wilson multitools, which are available ex-stock, are totally interchangeable and have the advantage of a highly versatile tooling system which extends the tool capacity of the machine.
Punches and dies are cheaper than standard solid punches, setting time is reduced and the user gains from improved flexibility of the punching cycle.
Standard tool shapes including squares and rectangles are available with Wilson's patented Optima coating which extends tool life between regrinds by up to 500 per cent.
Round tools are Optima coated as standard.
With the Wilson guaranteed delivery, any stock tool ordered before 11.00am is despatched, from what is believed to be the world's largest tool stock, the same day.
Special tool shapes are shipped within one to two days of drawing approval.
