Nx Sheet Metal Bend

The upper horizontal line is located at 10 mm from the upper left corner of the metal sheet.

Nx sheet metal bend.

The material table command can be accessed from the properties menu on the application button located in the upper left corner of the application. I worked with sheet metal for the first time within nx 11. The value lies in improving quality and reducing cost of sheet metal parts by producing an accurate sheet metal pattern as the correct input. Use the minimum bend dimension values in the charts below for your minimum closeness of cutout to a bend.

In the bend dialog box select one line as. Again draw a sketch in the plane p consisting in two symmetric horizontal lines w r t the x axis. With nx sheet metal formed and unformed representations of the parts are created closely following the industry workflows and best practices for bending calculations tooling and sheet metal features. Now my colleague noticed the difference between the bend line and the actual dimension we needed after it was bent.

Geometry of tooling imposes a minimum bend dimension. Obviously the difference comes from the thickness of the plate and the radius. Unable to apply taper to flanges in a 3 corner location. And i used the automatically generated bend lines in my drawing.

Refer to the chart for values for folder as well as various press brake tooling combinations. Say you have a box remove the top and think wall it. Variable radius edge blend fails after a long time. Use the gage tab on the material table dialog in sheet metal to set the part thickness and bend radius.

Sheet metal bend taper does not work on one flange. I won t demo that here unless someone really wants to see it. The diagram shows one such mechanism.
