About

Airbend Pro

Features
Read full description

Airbend Pro 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 Pro unique is that it will provide bending calculations specifically for air bending. (Airbend Pro will also provide the standard bend information if the "Bend Type" is set to "Bottom Formed") Inputs: Material Type Material Thickness Bend Type Bend Angle Inside Bend Radius Bend Width V-Die Radius V-Die Width It will provide the calculated v-die width on the entry screen to help determine the proper V-Die Width Outputs: Actual Bend Radius Bend Deduction Bend Allowance Tonnage Setback Outside Setback Minimum Flange The results can be shared from the output screen. Math formulas are allowed on the entry screen Example 2.5 millimeters to decimal inches (2.5/25.4) 3 feet to decimal inches (3x12) 3/16" to decimal inches (3/16) Coming soon: 1. Reverse engineer bend deduction, bend allowance, and actual inside bend radius from a formed test coupon 2. Flat layout calculations and export to DXF. Any feedback or requests for additional calculations or information is greatly appreciated.
