V0215, 3.11
A large radius is meant to be bent with a special radius punch with large radius. If such a
punch is not available, the bumping method can be selected. The radius value may not
exceed the length of any adjacent sides. For the definition of the line lengths to be
programmed in the part connected to a radius bend, see figure below.
Lengths L1 and L2 must be equal or bigger than the radius R.
It is also possible to create a bend by placing the cursor on the flange end where the bend is
required and select Properties. In this way the pop-up window will appear with an extra
parameter to fill-out.
3.4.2. Large radius: Bumping
If a tool with large radius is not available, the bumping method can be chosen. With this
method, a large radius in a product is obtained by a series of slight bends in succession.
