Sheet metal bending applications

It has important applications in the manufacturing process as it ensures simplicity and efficiency of the product.

1. **Types of bending**: Commonly used bending includes V-bending, Z-bending, and counter-bending stamping.

2. **Bending Height**: In order to ensure that the sheet metal is not deformed and twisted when bending, its height should be at least 2 times the thickness of the sheet metal plus the bending radius. When bending for the bevelled edge, especially need to pay attention to the bending height, in order to avoid the distortion caused by the height is too small.

3. **Bending Mould**: In the bending process, the selection of a suitable bending mould is critical. For example, when there is a bending interference, it may be necessary to choose a small bending tool, a sharp tool or a large bending tool to avoid the position according to the specific situation. In addition, in order to extend the life of the tooling and to ensure the forming effect, the part should be designed with rounded corners wherever possible and to ensure that the height of the bending edge is not less than three times the thickness of the sheet metal.

4. **Material Selection**: When selecting materials for bending, the minimum bending radius of the material needs to be considered to ensure bending strength. The minimum bending radius of various commonly used sheet metal materials can be referred to the relevant information.

In short, sheet metal bending has a wide range of applications in the manufacturing industry, whether it is a simple product or complex components, can be manufactured through the bending process.
