V12 88° Press Brake Lower Die for Precision Sheet Metal Bending

This V12 press brake lower die is designed for precision sheet metal bending applications requiring a compact V-die with a 12 mm V-opening.

The illustrated model has a 90 mm overall height, 18 mm body width and 88° V-groove angle, with a rated load capacity of 80 ton/m. The die combines a relatively compact body with reliable bending capacity for a wide range of sheet metal forming operations.

The 88° die angle is suitable for controlled air bending and provides flexibility when compensating for material springback. The V12 opening makes this die suitable for many common precision bending applications involving thin and medium-gauge sheet materials.

Flexible Effective Tool Height

Although the illustrated die has an overall height of 90 mm, the effective working height does not have to remain fixed.

Depending on the customer's machine, tooling combination and bending requirements, the effective height can be manufactured as:

75 mm, 70 mm or other customized dimensions.

This flexibility makes it possible to adapt the lower die to different press brake configurations, tooling heights and bending setups without limiting the customer to one standard geometry.

Compact V12 Die Geometry

The die has a 18 mm main body width, providing a compact lower-tool profile for applications where tooling clearance is important.

The illustrated design also includes an approximate R1.5 shoulder radius around the V-groove area.

The V12 configuration is suitable for applications requiring:

• precision air bending
• relatively small V-opening
• controlled inside bending radius
• compact lower-tool geometry
• accurate flange forming
• repeatable bending performance
