As the name bottom pressing suggests the punch presses the metal sheet onto the surface of the die so the die s angle determines the final angle of the workpiece.
Punched bent sheet metal frc.
Another way of strengthening the sheet metal is by punching holes and slots.
When we air bend sheet metal the size of the die v opening determines the inside radius of the bend.
Using rotational dies the punch secures the perforated sheet as it initiates bending just as with tread plate.
The bend radius you select may not be available if the geometry of the part will not allow us to bend with the specific tooling required to achieve that radius.

In principle does not seem that this operation is complicated and difficult.
Minimum punch radius 63 of the material thickness.
Instead the sheet metal punch can be saved for making holes where the excess material needs to be bent into a specific shape.
Metal of extremely high tensile strength may move regardless but in most situations as long as the clamping pressure is adequate to overcome the resistance your bend will be accurate wold said.
Troy products focuses on products geared toward public safety vehicles and similar apparatus.
Sheet metal should be bent at the minimum bend radius possible.
