Find by press brake brand
Most buyers search by the machine they own. Selecting the make opens the replacement page for that machine, with the interface it is commonly supplied with.
Find your press brake brand
Selecting a make opens its replacement tooling page, which lists the interface that make is commonly supplied with and what to measure before ordering.
Find by tooling brand
If you already own tooling from a known brand, the catalogue number on the tool is the fastest route to a replacement.
Find your tooling brand
Selecting a brand opens its replacement page, which explains how that catalogue number is structured and what to send us.
Decode a catalogue number
Only two press brake tooling systems publish a numbering rule openly: Mate, in its press brake catalogue, and Wilson for its clamping range. Those two are decoded here. Every other system is cross referenced manually, because guessing at what the digits mean is how mis-ordered tools happen.
Catalogue number decoder
Only systems whose manufacturer publishes a decoding rule can be decoded here. Everything else is cross referenced manually against the catalogue.
What the published rules actually say
The two rules below are the ones the manufacturers publish themselves. Everything else on the market is inference, and inference is not good enough to order tooling against.
| System | Rule as published | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Mate press brake tooling | Numeric part identifies the profile; letter part identifies the length. S standard, F segmented, T 300 mm, D 200 mm, C 100 mm; a trailing X indicates a safety button. | Tool profile and length only. Dimensions are read from the catalogue, not from the number. |
| Wilson clamping | Part number building key: holder type, tool style, mount style, actuation, series, generation and adjustment each have a code position. | Clamping products. The catalogue shows the key alongside the product tables. |
| Wila | No publicly published decoding rule. | Identification is done by matching the number against the catalogue. |
| Wilson Wila style | No publicly published decoding rule for the eight digit number. | Length variants are written as a suffix, for example a 550X sectionalised set. |
