Preventing Material Thinning and Web Deformation
Professional Z-Style Dies feature a carefully designed central relief area (the zone between the two bending shoulders). This relief is dimensioned to prevent excessive compression and material thinning in the web of the Z-bend. By controlling the material flow during the single-stroke operation, the Joggle Tool ensures that the finished offset maintains the desired material thickness and structural integrity, preventing defects that often occur with makeshift, multi-step bending methods.
