Bend Angle

Sheet-Metal Design

In the context of the bend deduction table, the bend angle is the angle between the sheet’s surfaces. The bend angle is demonstrated in figure 1.

Figure 1: Bend angle (A).

In the bend deduction table the halves of the bend deductions are functions of the bend angle. If you receive a bend deduction table containing bend deductions from the bending machine's manufacturer, for example, take into account that the bend angle might also mean the complement of the angle between the sheet’s surfaces.
