Air bending force calculation
Hi to all,
First post here, seems like a great forum :)
I need a formula to calculate the capacity to air bend steel plates with a Pirahna.
I already have a formula to calculate the force required but it has been developped (approximated) for a mild steel application only and I would like one with the possibility to change the material.
Here's the one I found:
P = (575*t^2*L)/D
P : Tons produced by press
t : Thickness of plate (inches)
D : Space between contact point on die (inches)
L : Length of the bend
Reference: Presse brake forming by W. Earl Peters
Thanks
