Trumpf press brake tooling replacement

What replacement tooling does a Trumpf press brake use?

Trumpf press brakes built in Germany are most commonly supplied with the Trumpf / Wila 20 mm safety 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 Trumpf 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 Trumpf 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 Trumpf tooling?

Trumpf and Wila share the 20 mm safety tang interface, which is why tooling is usually described as Trumpf / Wila compatible. Locking pins retain the punch in the clamp, so a replacement must carry the same retention feature, not merely the same tang width.

• 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 Trumpf owners usually ask for?

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

• 20 mm safety tang punches with locking pins
• 100 / 415 / 835 mm segment combinations
• Dies for automated and robot-fed bending cells
• Heavy-duty profiles for thicker gauge work

What should I send for a Trumpf tooling quote?

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

1. Trumpf 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.
