Wilson Tool International (www.wilsontool.com), the largest independent manufacturer of tooling systems for punch presses, press brakes, and punch and die components for the stamping industry, offers the Dura-Die parting tool.

The Dura-Die’s replaceable die inserts are made from Wilson Tool’s exclusive Ultima tool steel, which allows greater wear resistance to achieve maximum grind life.

The die base is made from shock-resistant steel, allowing it to withstand even the highest punching force. Combined, these two steels give fabricators ultimate durability and performance.

Available only from Wilson Tool, the Dura-Die parting tool includes the following features:

• Economical replaceable inserts, which are a lower-cost alternative to replacing the entire die. Fabricators can simply replace the die inserts for quick changeovers.
• Combining the Dura-Dire parting tool with Wilson Tool’s Dura-Blade product, metal fabricators can greatly increase the life of parting tools. When a new die is necessary, the removable insert can easily be replaced with minimal downtime.
• Available for standard parting in C, D, and E stations (close-to-clamp is available in D and E stations).
• Available with positive and SlugHugger2 relief options.

With the new 52H-3E series, DE-STA-CO is offering a very individualized, adjustable manual power clamp primarily for prototype fixtures. The manual power clamps are available in two sizes – 50 and 63. They have a completely closed aluminum housing that protects the inner mechanical parts from weld splatters.

The opening angle is close to infinitely variable with adjustments from 0 to 135

degrees. An Allen key is used to open the retaining mechanism and to clamp it again to the desired setting.

There are two manual levers available that can be mounted on the left or right. While the “H0” model can be installed in different positions, the “HS” model can be welded on as desired, even at an axially bent angle, thus utilizing the ergonomic position. There is a large array of U and side clamping arms available.

The models of the new series are available with or without sensors.  Colored LEDs reliably indicate the current status of the clamp: Green means ready for operation; yellow and red indicate that the clamp is in open and closed position, respectively. In order to prevent damage, the sensors are divided into two parts: The sensors are in the clamp; the connector shell with the LEDs is accessible from the outside.

The new series is designed for use in a temperature range from negative 13 to positive 158 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 25 to positive 70 degrees Celsius).  The maximum holding force is 960 ft.lb (1,300 Nm) for model 50 and 1330 ft.lb (1,800 Nm) for model 63. Both models can replace series 82M-3E.

The CNC machine, boasting a 45-degree, slant-bed, rigid box ways structure, is supported by ribbed Meehanite cast-iron, which provides strong support and excellent damping absorption that helps to resist deflection and vibration during heavy machining.

The Chevalier FBL-200 is engineered with ease of access and trouble-free maintenance in mind. Its compact design minimizes floor space for the large work envelope.

It’s the best machine in the market for mixed volume, short-run or dedicated high-volume applications.

With a magazine-fed bar feeder or a gantry-style loader, the FBL is a fully automated, single-set-up, part-processing machining system that’s affordable and cost-effective.

Capacity The FBL-200 slant-bed lathe features an 8″ hydraulic chuck, optional tool presetter, 18.5″ maximum swing diameter with 10.2″ maximum turning diameter and a maximum turning length up to 16″. The bar capacity is 2.5″.

Spindle The lathe features an up-to 20HP AC digital spindle motor. The spindle bar capacity is 2.55″ in diameter with speeds up to 3,500rpm. The spindle has cylindrical roller bearings that provide strong cutting capability.

Turret A 10-station indexing turret offers fast tool indexing.

Accessories A manual tailstock and programmable quill are standard, along with a chip conveyor that provides efficient chip management.

Control The model comes with a powerful FANUC 0i-TD control and digital servo drive and motor. This new control provides the most popular functions, including a rigid tap, multiple threads and a conversational Manual Guide 0i program.
