Press Brake & Bending
Box Height Calculator
Calculate the internal box height or required upper tool height based on beam geometry. Essential for deep box or channel bending operations.
- Box Internal Height: Calculate max internal height from tool dimensions.
- Upper Tool Height: Determine required tool height for a given box.
- Beam Distance: Distance from beam center to outer edge.
- Deep Box Forming: Essential for box and pan brake operations.

Theory & Formulas
Box Height Formulas:
Box Internal Height:
H_box = 0.672 × (H_tool - D)
Required Upper Tool Height:
H_tool = (H_box / 0.672) + D
Where:
- H_box = Internal box height
- H_tool = Upper tool height
- D = Distance from beam center to outer edge
Notes:
- The 0.672 factor accounts for the geometry of deep box forming
- Ensure clearance for flanges during bending
- Consider material thickness in final calculations
