Calculate Missing Values of the Bend Deduction Table
Sheet-Metal Design
You can calculate the missing halves of bend deductions in the bend deduction table. To calculate the missing values, you will first need a half of the bend deduction of a 90 degree bend. Determine it experimentally or read it from the machine manufacturer's table, if one has been provided. Calculate missing values as follows:
-
Select System | Databases | Bend Deduction Table.
- (OR) Select System | Databases |
- Select the Material and Thickness, or add a new Material/Thickness pair.
- Add a new row to the table and enter the Die width V and Punch radius or edit an existing row.
- Enter a half of the bend deduction for a 90 degree bend onto the row.
- Select Calculate. The program will calculate the missing halves of bend deductions on the row.
- If necessary, repeat steps 2-5 to calculate more values.
- Select OK.
