Bend Solver vs Airbend Lite

The BystronicBend Solver calculates very easy many parameters for bending sheet metal and comes with lovely graphics. The BystronicBend Solver is supporting the bending / press brake operator, team leader or line manager perfectly in his day to day workflow. Depending on the material (e.g. steel, stainless steel or aluminium) and the material thickness the user gets an indication of the required bending force, the die opening, the box height, the stamp height, the radius and the minimal flange length. Also makes recommendations to appropriate tools and bending machines for the desired operation. Features: + Calculationofoptimal settingsforBystronicbendingmachines + Calculationofbendingforce + Calculation of box height + Calculation of stamp height + Recommendation of tools and machines + Numerous metal sheets to choose + Graphical indication of bending part It's that easy! Enjoy working with it. Bystronic: Best choice. Cutting. Bending. Automation www.bystronic.com

Airbend Lite is a tool that will perform calculations for bending precision sheet metal on modern press brakes. There are many apps for calculating standard sheet metal bending information, but what makes Airbend Lite unique is that it will provide bending calculations specifically for air bending. (Airbend Lite will also provide the standard bend information if the "Bend Type" is set to "Bottom Formed") Inputs: Material Type (Cold Rolled Steel only) Material Thickness Bend Type Bend Angle (90 degrees only) Inside Bend Radius V-Die Radius V-Die Width Outputs: Actual Bend Radius Bend Deduction Bend Allowance Setback Minimum Flange Output does not have units. As long as all entries are consistent (millimeters or inches) the output will match. You can mix millimeters, feet, fractions, etc. by using math formulas as long as the formulas evaluate to the same units. E.g 2.5 millimeters to decimal inches (2.5 / 25.4) 3 feet to decimal inches (3 x 12) 3/16" to decimal inches (3 / 16) .118" to millimeters (.118 * 25.4) Any feedback or requests for additional calculations or information is greatly appreciated.
