SOLUTION 05 · PRESS BRAKE TOOLING
Explore tooling profiles by forming task, then confirm dimensions and machine compatibility from your part drawing.
TOOLING OVERVIEW
Upper punches, V-dies, multi-V dies, gooseneck profiles and specialized forming tools support different bending tasks. The punch and die need to be selected together for the part, material and machine.
A useful recommendation starts with the finished profile and bend sequence. Material thickness, bend angle, inside radius, working length, tool interface and handling requirements then shape the proposed set.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Share these inputs so the proposed punch, die and clamping interface can be reviewed as one package:
TOOLING REFERENCE · 01
Compare the V-opening and punch profile against the forming task, material and machine interface.
01 / 01
Two V-grooves provide alternative openings for compatible air-bending tasks. The selected groove is checked against sheet thickness, required radius and available loading.
01 / 02
A four-sided V profile offers several groove choices in one tool body. It can simplify changeovers when the relevant opening is suitable for the material and bend.
01 / 03
Several V-openings allow one die to cover a range of compatible bend requirements. The working groove must be selected to suit the sheet and intended forming method.
TOOLING REFERENCE · 02
These larger-machine examples still require a drawing-led check of load, length and clamping geometry.
02 / 01
A multi-V die provides a choice of openings for varied bending conditions on larger equipment. Its drawing and section size are references, not a confirmed machine fit.
02 / 02
The double-V arrangement offers two V-openings for different approved bends. Selection still depends on material, forming radius and tool load limits.
02 / 03
Four V-grooves provide several forming choices in one die section. Confirm each groove with the representative part and the machine configuration.
TOOLING REFERENCE · 03
Choose segmentation and clearance around the part geometry, bend sequence and tool-change workflow.
03 / 01
Short tool sections can be combined to match different bend lengths and complex part layouts without handling one continuous punch.
03 / 02
The recessed profile creates clearance for flanges or return bends that may interfere with a straight punch during the forming sequence.
03 / 03
A broader recessed profile may help with large-angle or offset geometries when the workpiece needs additional clearance around the punch.
03 / 04
This tooling profile is an interface option for compatible American-style clamping systems. It is not interchangeable until the holder, height and geometry are checked.
DRAWING-LED REVIEW
Send the press-brake model, material, thickness, bend length, radius, finished profile and current clamp information. We can review standard and custom tooling options with you.
The source grouping is a visual reference, not a GWMT load rating. Tool capacity and compatibility require a technical review.
