UKB-INFO Bending help ADVANTAGES There are two different ways of bending 1 Air bending Bott ottoming/coining t Material thickness F Forcelpressute The force/pressure F for bottoming/coining is ¥ Disapening 3 up to 8 times higher than air bending bb Shortestflange f, Inside radius The die opening V should be 6 up to 12 times of -mE- A esstnee a” Angle the material thickness t. It also dictates the force/ pressure F needed for air bending. For the choice of the opening V must be considered also the shortest flange b and the angle. By a smaller die opening V the inside radius r, will be smaller. With the below shown table of force and the formu- las you can calculate the appropriate values.
