Bending of radius shapes is a tricky thing. If it is a U-shape (or U-channel) (this means the sides should be 180 degrees) it will be a double tricky thing and it is impossible to achieve with the standard tools. The solution for bending should be to close the part more than 180 degrees to have the coefficient of return when the part is extracted. We are talking about it also in our blog. The hard story is that the radius bend makes the big spring back and it is not just a couple of angles. We study different ways of bending from offering standard tools to bumping tools with completely special complicated solutions.
Sure that each task is unique and conditions are different. For real big radiuses the U-shape bend could be achieved during 3 or 4 radius bends but if the distance of the lateral sides is small it will just make a collision with the tooling of the machine beam. Or probably it is possible to bend all in coining but it requires much more force. Anyway, we are open to your requests for radius bending so let us know if you study the tools for it.

To tell the truth, bar and tube bending with the press brake - is quite a rare application that is requested if, for example, the customer needs to have simple bent bars directly at the same place and probably weld after together. With a tube it is more complicated - during the bending the tube wall could be easily deformed, so it is for applications where the ovality of the tube is not so important or necessary to make internal filler - sand for example. Anyway it is possible, used by some companies and the special bending tooling for press brake to bend tubes and bars is presented and we are ready to supply it as well.
Well, as we told you before it is a special case because if you want constant production - it is more easy to purchase a simple tube bending machine. But with bar bending more force is necessary so the method to bend with press brake has its advantages. We publish it to show different possibilities for applications to be made with press brake.

Sometimes sellers who deal with all press brake tooling systems have additional advantages to make the right solution. It happens rarely but happens when we offer the customer to buy adapters and the tooling from another system. Why?
Because it is more effective and also cheaper than planning the geometry of a special punch and die. In this case, we have more flexibility and more wide choice of solutions we are offering to our potential customers.

By the way, we also made our new catalog 2023 edition for these style press brake tools so you can download and check it here:

We can provide any solution for the hemming/flattening applications including pre-bending, final flattening with complete pressing, or "tear type" hemming (which is used typically in door profiles) and for sure any special projects and applications.

Who likes the positive feedback from the customer? We are))) And for sure they help us with future projects as well. But to tell the truth, we have not a lot. The reason is quite simple - a lot of times we do not deal with production people, we deal with purchase managers and then they will just send our bending tools, for example, to the shop and other people will operate with them.
