Calculate Bend Radius



Formula

The formula to calculate the Bend Radius (R) is:

\[ R = \frac{V - MT}{2} \]

Where:

Press Brake Radius Definition

A press brake radius is the inside radius of the bend produced by a press brake. The press brake is a machine used to bend sheet metal, and the radius of the bend is determined by the V-opening width of the die and the thickness of the material being bent. The bend radius is a critical parameter in the bending process as it affects the final shape and strength of the bent material.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Bend Radius (R):

\[ R = \frac{20 - 2}{2} = 9 \]

The Bend Radius (R) is 9 mm.
