How to select a suitable tooling?


1. Material: Consider the type and thickness of the material being bent. Different materials require different tooling, such as V-dies for mild steel, acute angle tooling for stainless steel, and coining tools for high-strength materials.

2. Bend angle and radius: Determine the required bend angle and radius for the part being formed. Choose tooling that matches these specifications to achieve the desired results.

3. Tooling style: Select the appropriate tooling style based on the specific bending application. Common styles include standard, segmented, and precision tooling. Each style offers unique advantages depending on the complexity of the bend.

4. Tooling length: Ensure the length of the tooling matches the size of the press brake and can accommodate the length of the part being formed.

5. Tooling material: Consider the material the tooling is made of. Hardened tooling is suitable for high-volume production and abrasive materials, while softer tooling may be more cost-effective for low-volume runs.

6. Manufacturer compatibility: Verify that the selected press brake tooling is compatible with the make and model of the press brake being used. By taking these factors into account, you can effectively select the right press brake tooling for your specific bending needs.
