Each operation needs a certain tonnage per meter. You can also see the die width V (mm) that is needed for such specifications. The bending force table below helps you identify the minimum flange length b (mm) and inside radii ir (mm) according to material thickness t (mm). Air bending and bottoming account for around 90% of all bending jobs. V-bending is the most common bending method using a punch and die. It has three subgroups – bottoming, air bending and coining. Simpler methods are more flexible and most importantly, need fewer different tools for getting a result. The dilemma is usually between going for accuracy or simplicity, while the latter gets more usage.
