Weinbrenner press brake tooling replacement

What replacement tooling does a Weinbrenner press brake use?

Weinbrenner press brakes built in Germany are most commonly supplied with the European tang, heavy section 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 Weinbrenner 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 Weinbrenner 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 Weinbrenner tooling?

Weinbrenner builds heavy-duty machines where tooling is often heavy section.

• 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 Weinbrenner owners usually ask for?

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

• Heavy section punches and dies
• Large radius tooling

What should I send for a Weinbrenner tooling quote?

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

1. Weinbrenner 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.
