EXPAND THE CAPABILITIES OF YOUR PRESS BRAKE

Many shops have moved away from running punch presses to lasers, and are now challenged with needing to create forms, small and big. Some are forced to outsource work or shy away from certain applications.

Brake Partner® from Wilson Tool offers fabricators the ability to perform punch press operations in-house, even when no punching machine is available. This solution allows shops to greatly expand the capabilities of their existing press brakes, thereby saving on the cost of a new machine, or outsourcing punching applications.
