Press Brake & Bending
Min Flange Length Calculator
Calculate minimum flange length required for successful bending. Prevents material slipping and ensures consistent bend quality.
- Minimum Flange: Shortest possible flange length.
- Safe Flange: Recommended length with 20% safety factor.
- Based on: V-die opening and inside radius.

Theory & Formulas
Min Flange Formula:
Min Flange = V/2 + IR
Where:
- V = V-die opening
- IR = Inside bend radius
Rule of Thumb:
Add 20% safety factor for reliable bending.
