Promecam press brake tooling replacement

What replacement tooling does a Promecam press brake use?

Promecam press brakes built in France are most commonly supplied with the European tang / Amada 13 mm tang interface. That is the starting point for any replacement, and it should be confirmed by measurement before a tool is ordered, because the clamp fitted to the individual machine is what actually decides the tooling.

How do I confirm the tooling interface on a Promecam machine?

Measure the tang width and punch height, inspect how the punch is clamped, and measure the die body. Those four observations identify the family on almost every Promecam machine without a site visit, and they are what we need in order to quote a replacement.

1. Measure the tang width across its widest point.
2. Measure the punch overall height from the shoulder to the tip.
3. Look for locking pin holes or a retention groove, which indicate a safety tang.
4. Measure the die body width and photograph the clamp with a ruler in shot.

What is worth knowing about Promecam tooling?

Promecam is a historic French builder whose designs were absorbed into the Amada range. Machines still in service under the Promecam name typically use European or Amada 13 mm interfaces, so measure before ordering.

• Tooling families share nominal dimensions more often than expected, so measure rather than assume.
• The clamp, not the tang alone, decides which holder and tool family will fit.
• If the measurements are ambiguous, a photograph of the clamp with a ruler in shot resolves it.

What do Promecam owners usually ask for?

The replacement requests below are the ones that come up most often for machines of this make.

• European style punches and dies
• Amada compatible tooling where fitted
• Replacement tooling for older hydraulic units

What should I send for a Promecam tooling quote?

With these six items a replacement can be specified and quoted without a site visit.

1. Promecam machine model and year, if known.
2. Measured tang width and punch overall height.
3. A photograph of the clamp with a ruler in the frame.
4. Material grade, thickness range and the radius to be produced.
5. The length and any segment combination you need.
6. Quantity and delivery country.
