How to select bending factor for sheet metal processing?

In the process of sheet metal processing, bending processing is one of the processing procedures, through the bending lever on the bending machine to achieve the bending of metal forming. In order to ensure that the processed workpiece meets our requirements, we need to choose the accurate bending coefficient when we are bending the metal plate. So how to choose the bending factor in sheet metal processing?

Bending factor:

Bending coefficient belongs to the sheet metal processing category. For example, fold an Angle iron parts, both sides of the size of A and B, then the actual processing is to first through the punch processing, its expansion size is A+B- the corresponding bending coefficient = expansion size. The bending expansion coefficient is the experienced Sheet Metal Bending master, according to years of design experience repeatedly verified and summed up the data of things, then the sheet metal bending master can be directly set into the calculation formula can get the bending structure of the unfolded plate size.

A very simple method to calculate the bending coefficient belongs to the empirical formula of 90 degree bending coefficient: 1.7 times the material thickness calculation method.

During 90° sheet metal bending, 1.7 times the material thickness is subtracted from the right Angle bending. If the material is a 1mm iron plate, the bending angle is 90 degrees, and the bending size is 100 and 50, the calculation method is: 100+50-1.7=148.3mm. The calculation is the expansion length. This 1.7 is said to be 1.6 or 1.65 times. Yes, it can be adjusted a little. Because the bending die used by each gold factory is not exactly the same, the error is very small, can not be adjusted, the requirements can also be slightly adjusted.

Here, for a particular angle, the bending coefficient can be calculated in a simple way. When the bending angle of sheet metal processing is 135°, the bending coefficient can be reduced by 0.5 times of the material thickness. If the material is a 1mm iron plate, the bending angle is 135 degrees, and the bending size is 100 and 50, the calculation and expansion method is: 100+500.5=149.5mm. Other sheet metal thicknesses can be calculated in the same way. Only available at 135 degrees, not at other angles.

There is also a special angle in the bending of sheet metal machining, that is, sheet metal ruffles (also known as crushing edges) can be calculated in a simple way. The bending coefficient is equal to 0.4 times the thickness of the sheet metal. For example, if the material is 1mm iron plate, the bending is a dead edge, and the bending size is 100 and 10, then the calculation and expansion method is 10010-0.4= 109.6mm. This calculation is an empirical formula and is very accurate.

To sum up, it is the determination method of bending coefficient in sheet metal processing. However, due to the different use of equipment, some sheet metal processing manufacturers, in the determination of sheet metal bending coefficient, there may be some differences; therefore, we should analyze the actual situation to determine the appropriate sheet metal processing bending coefficient.
