TIPS
TOOLING IDENTIFICATION AND POSITIONING SYSTEMžWILA’s core activities are aimed at a single mission: To achieve the highest level of productivity for the
press brake user. To achieve this, WILA continuously strives to develop the latest bending technologies and
innovations, resulting in high quality products. The TIPS system is one of the most recent WILA innovations.
The WILA TIPS system is an integrated part of the press brake control system and supports tooling identification and continuous monitoring of
tooling position. In any position in an upper clamping, lower clamping or storage system, tooling can be located and identified. Due to the very
precise recognition of the tools, the TIPS system indicates if the correct tool is being used, if the length of the tool is correct, and what should be
the exact position of the tool in the clamping system. With this detailed information both errors and test bends can be avoided, resulting in a
substantial increase in productivity.
TIPS TOOLING (A)Each New Standard Premium (special) tool can be equipped with
a TIPS ID-tag (A1). The ID-tag holds an unique serial number which
represents tool specific information (e.g. tooling length, type, max load,
etc.) which is necessary to identify each tool.

TIPS CLAMPING SYSTEM (B)Any New Standard Premium automatic clamping system can be
equipped with the TIPS system up to 4590 mm length. TIPS electronic
communication boards are fitted in the complete length of the
clamping system. By means of a continuously changing electric field,
the TIPS system is able to power the ID-tag and receive messages.
Each TIPS Clamping System is connected to the TIPS DIN Clamping
Switch by a cable.
TIPS DIN CLAMPING SWITCH (C)The TIPS DIN Clamping Switch continuously guards the TIPS Clamping
System, and assures correct routing of messaging to all connected
clamping systems with the TIPS DIN controller. It guards the current
flowing to each clamping system as well and deactivates the clamping
in case of a short circuit. The TIPS DIN Clamping Switch is connected to
the TIPS DIN controller.
TIPS DIN CONTROLLER (D)The TIPS DIN controller module is the center of the TIPS system.
The TIPS DIN controller is connected to the press brake IPC, it receives
commands from the press brake IPC and controls the identification and
positioning process. A complex algorithm calculates the tool position
from the electrical field which is read from the clamping system.
Commands can be sent and requested using CAN messages (CAN
interface) or TCP/IP messages (Ethernet interface).
In this way, by supporting multiple interfaces, the TIPS system can
be easily accessed. Furthermore, CAN routing supports multiple active
channels, therefore multiple TIPS and even WILA STL® (Smart Tool
Locator®) function next to each other!
