When producing deep boxes or deep and narrow 'U' channels, sometimes it may not be possible to use your existing tools due to collisions on the rear of the tool or the machine beam itself. Choosing the appropriate tools is key to avoid poorly bent pieces or damaged tooling.
Amada offers many tooling solutions to make your bending cell more flexible and versatile to produce deeper and more complex parts.
Find the best application to suit your needs.
AFH - AMADA FIXED HEIGHT PUNCHES
Reduce setup time with AMADA Fixed Height tooling (AFH) as deeper and more complex parts can be folded in one machine setup.
