Tonnage Calculation (Determine the necessary press force required to execute the bend without overloading the machine or crushing the tools)
Programming the machine’s back gauge and ram stroke (enter the material thickness, V-die opening, and bend angles into the controller. Program the back gauges to ensure the sheet metal is positioned correctly for consistent, repeated bends.)
Test bend (Run a test piece on scrap material to verify the bend angle and dimensions)
Adjustments & Tweaks (Fine-tune the ram stroke, back gauge, and pressure to compensate for any material "springback" before running the final production parts)
