5-Groove V24 / V54 / V64 / V100 / V120 Multi-V Press Brake Lower Die

This multi-V press brake lower die integrates five independent working V-grooves into a 160 × 160 mm tooling body.

The illustrated configuration includes five different V-opening sizes:

V24 · V54 · V64 · V100 · V120

Each physical groove provides a different forming range, allowing one lower tooling body to cover several medium and large V-opening requirements.

The illustrated die has an overall cross-section of 160 × 160 mm and a rated load capacity of 100 ton/m.

Compared with high-groove-count multi-V dies that integrate many small and medium V-openings, this configuration uses fewer grooves but provides a much larger V-opening range. The V24 opening covers the smaller end of this tooling configuration, while V54 and V64 provide intermediate forming widths. The larger V100 and V120 grooves provide substantially greater forming clearance for applications requiring wider die openings and larger natural inside bend radii.

The V120 working groove shown in the drawing uses an 85° die angle.

The 160 × 160 mm external dimensions do not define one fixed multi-V configuration. Another die with the same overall cross-section can be manufactured with different groove quantities, V-opening sizes, positions, angles or bottom radii.

The profile shown here therefore represents one available manufacturing example rather than a fixed catalog limitation.

Technical Specifications

5-Groove Multi-V Structure

The defining characteristic of this lower die is its five-groove multi-V configuration.

The tooling integrates:

V24 → V54 → V64 → V100 → V120

within one 160 × 160 mm lower die body.

Unlike multi-V configurations designed around a large number of smaller grooves, this design uses a relatively low groove count to provide five distinct medium-to-large forming ranges.

This demonstrates an important principle of multi-V tooling:

more grooves do not necessarily mean a more suitable die.

The optimum groove quantity and V-opening combination depend on the customer's actual material range, required bending radii, workpiece geometry and production requirements.

V24 to V120 Working Range

The five V-opening sizes provide different bending ranges.

V24

The V24 groove provides the smallest opening in this configuration and can be selected where a relatively narrower forming width is required.

V54 and V64

These intermediate openings provide increased forming clearance and support applications requiring larger natural inside bend radii.

V100

The V100 opening provides a substantially wider forming range for applications requiring greater die clearance.

V120

The V120 groove is the largest V-opening in this configuration and is shown with an 85° groove angle.

It provides the widest forming clearance within the illustrated tooling body.

The final V-opening should always be selected according to:

• Sheet thickness
• Material grade
• Tensile strength
• Required inside bend radius
• Bend angle
• Flange geometry
• Available forming force
• Bending method

Large V-Opening Multi-V Configuration

This product differs from many smaller multi-V dies because its V-opening strategy is concentrated on medium and large forming widths.

Instead of integrating many small V-grooves, the 160 × 160 mm body provides V-openings up to V120.

This type of configuration can be useful where production involves:

• Larger natural inside bend radii
• Greater workpiece clearance requirements
• Medium and thicker sheet material
• Different large V-opening requirements within the same production environment
• A need to reduce the number of separate large single-V lower dies

The final die configuration should always be engineered according to the required bending force and material specifications.

V120 85° Working Groove

The drawing identifies the V120 groove with an 85° angle.

This provides a large V-opening combined with conventional 85° lower-die geometry.

The V120 groove is only one working position within the complete multi-V structure.

Other grooves do not necessarily need to use the same angle. Different working positions can be manufactured with different angles according to the required forming process.

Individual Groove Geometry Can Be Customized

Multi-V tooling is not defined only by the width of each V-opening.

WYS Machinery can customize:

• V-opening size
• V-groove angle
• V-bottom radius
• Shoulder geometry
• Groove depth
• Groove position
• Number of working grooves
• Working-face arrangement
• Overall die cross-section

This allows different grooves within the same multi-V tooling body to be designed for different bending requirements.

Same 160 × 160 mm Body, Different Multi-V Configurations

The external dimensions of a multi-V die do not determine one fixed groove layout.

Different 160 × 160 mm multi-V lower dies can have different:

• Groove counts
• V-opening sizes
• Groove positions
• Groove angles
• V-bottom radii
• Repeated or unique V-opening combinations
• Working-face arrangements
• Shoulder geometry

The illustrated V24 / V54 / V64 / V100 / V120 configuration is therefore one example only.

Another 160 × 160 mm die can be designed with a completely different V-opening range according to the customer's production requirements.

Advantages of This 5-Groove Multi-V Design

Five Different Forming Ranges

Each physical working groove provides a different V-opening size.

Large V-Opening Coverage

The V24-to-V120 configuration concentrates on medium and larger forming widths.

Reduced Large-Die Inventory

Several V-opening sizes can be integrated within one tooling body instead of requiring a separate large single-V die for every bending condition.

Flexible Production

Different working faces can be selected according to the required V-opening and workpiece specification.

Custom Engineering

The groove quantity, V-opening size, angle, position, radius and complete tooling profile can be designed around the customer's actual production range.

Typical Applications

This 160 × 160 mm multi-V lower die is suitable for:

• General sheet metal fabrication
• Medium and thicker sheet bending
• Carbon steel bending
• Stainless steel bending
• Machinery and heavy equipment fabrication
• Structural sheet metal components
• Industrial enclosure production
• Large sheet metal components
• Mixed-thickness manufacturing
• Applications requiring medium and large V-openings
• Applications requiring larger natural inside bend radii
• Workshops seeking to reduce separate large lower-die inventory
