V18 88° Single-V Press Brake Lower Die for Precision Bending

This V18 press brake lower die is designed with a single-V structure for stable and accurate sheet metal bending.

The illustrated model features an 18 mm V-opening, 88° die angle, 90 mm overall height and 22 mm main body width, with a rated load capacity of 100 ton/m.

The V18 opening provides a practical solution for a wide range of sheet metal bending applications, especially where a larger V-opening than V14 or V16 is required. The 88° groove geometry is suitable for controlled air bending and provides additional flexibility when compensating for material springback.

The single-V structure offers a simple, stable and durable lower-tool configuration for repeated CNC press brake forming operations.

Flexible Effective Tool Height

The total tool height of the illustrated die is 90 mm, while the effective working height can be customized according to the customer's machine and tooling setup.

Typical options include:

70 mm, 75 mm or other customized effective heights.

This allows the die to be adapted to different punch heights, press brake daylight, tooling combinations and clamping systems.

V18 Single-V Die Geometry

The die combines an 18 mm V-opening with a 22 mm main body width, providing a robust lower-tool profile for reliable bending performance.

The illustrated configuration includes:

• 18 mm V-opening
• 88° die angle
• 22 mm main body width
• 14 mm bottom mounting width
• Approx. R2.5 shoulder radius
• 100 ton/m load capacity

This geometry is suitable for precision air bending and general sheet metal fabrication within the rated tonnage.
