Standard and Hook Tongues (Safety Tangs)

Press Brake tools are generally provided with one of two mounting tongues (or tangs). Special tongues can be provided upon request. Dimensions for the two basic mounting tongues are shown in the following illustrations.

Standard Tongue

The standard tongue is most common and will be provided on all tools unless otherwise specified.

 

     

Hook Tongue (or Safety Tang)

The "Hook Tongue" or "Safety Tang", as it is sometimes referred to, is preferred in applications where special safety or convenience issues may be a consideration. Typical applications where the Hook Tongue is preferred include:

  • When the punch is to be used in sections.

  • When the weight or size of the punch is large.

  • When the application involves significant stripping forces that act to pull the tool downward.
