    Sheet metal bending involves using a punch and die to form sheet metal stock between 1/64" and 1/4" thick. Bending can be done cold or warm depending on the material. Common bending machines are presses. V-bending allows for a range of angles but dies are expensive, while edge bending is used for angles up to 90 degrees. The bending force equation estimates the force required based on factors like material tensile strength, bend angle, plate width/thickness, and die dimensions. Springback and bend allowance must also be considered to get the desired final shape.

    Bending types
    V-bending
    • Large range of angles
    • Dies expensive
    • Low production operations

    Edge bending
    • Cantilever bending
    • Pressure pad to hold part from
    slipping

    • For angles  90°


    • More expensive

    Bending model
    Bending force estimated from bending force equation for
    simply supported beam:
    F = Kbf TS w t2 /D
    where
    TS = tensile strength
    A
    A == bend
    bend angle
    angle
    w = plate width
    t = plate thickness
    D = die opening dimension or cantilever length

    Kbf = bending factor, where for

    V-bending Kbf = 1.33 Edge bending Kbf = 0.33


    ME 482 - Manufacturing Systems
    Bending model - springback

    Springback is a measure of
    elastic recovery after plastic 
    load released
    SB = (A’ – Ab’)/ Ab’ Elastic
    Recovery

    To compensate: e
    • Overbending – increase punch angle
    and decrease punch radius
    • Bottoming – plastically deform with
    additional punch pressure
    ME 482 - Manufacturing Systems
    Bending model – bend allowance
    If R/t is small (R is punch radius), the sheet metal will stretch
    some, changing length of stock required to complete final
    shape. In effect, the neutral axis displaces from the center of
    the stock. The bend allowance (BA) accounts for this from the
    equation:
    BA = 2 A (R + Kbat)/ 360

    where if R/t < 2, Kba = 0.33


    R/t  2, Kba = 0.50
    and Kba is a stretching factor.
