Mate’s latest case study features another great example about increasing throughput and reducing labor costs. Mate Regional Sales Manager Peter Visser visited a customer that did multiple press brake setups per day. These setups took about 10 minutes each, and the customer, Bilan Metal Works, was looking for a better solution.

After investigating what tooling style Bilan used, Visser recommended Mate’s American Precision Style press brake tooling with Maglock. Our patent-pending system uses rare earth magnets that allow the operator to attach the punch in the forward or rearward position.¹ The system sets up almost instantly with no separation between the surfaces. Since there is no separation, there’s no need to seat the tooling before use, which is a significant time-saver. Bilan says that what once took ten minutes per set up now takes 10 seconds.²
