Bending process with the workpiece clamped in two translationally movable clamps which draws the workpiece over a die to cause bending. Beskrivning The process The workpiece is usually a sheet metal plate mounted between clamps [1]. A form [2] is then pressed against the workpiece to be deformed by plastic deformation. Either the clamps or stationary shape and the second part exerts a tensile or pressing force on the workpiece. In this way a tension is generated through the piece of material which is beneficial to the final product. The method can only create surfaces with radii in one direction.
