Pressure
Bending tonnage. Pressure controls the force applied during the bend; it is not another positioning slide.

Take this component further
One part. Tools, machine and quotation.
Keep your dimensions and bend order as you compare machines, explore Euram tooling and build your quotation.
Illustrative machine and sampled tool-section checks. Final capacity, tooling, gauging and full-machine clearances require a setup review.
Control that suits your work
Independent backgauge
Two fingers.
Individual positioning.
Position each backgauge finger independently in depth, height and across the machine. This gives you more flexibility when gauging asymmetric components and setting up demanding folded parts.
- X1 / X2
- Independent depth towards or away from the bend line.
- R1 / R2
- Independent vertical height.
- Z1 / Z2
- Powered sideways positioning along the machine.
Carter Bend Studio
Bring your next
component into view.
Choose a profile or draw your own. Explore the shape in 2D and 3D, step through the bends and take a dimensional drawing into your discussion with Carter.
Choose your control
NC or CNC?
Choose straightforward Y/X control, programmable five-function CNC, or independent ten-function CNC for more demanding gauging setups.

What this result checks
The search currently completes each bend in one hit. Candidate sequences are screened against the selected tool sections and overlapping sheet segments during approach, forming and retraction. Tool outlines and sharp-corner part geometry are approximate. Whole-machine clearance, upper clamping, gauging, tooling load, bend radii and movement between operations need a setup review.

Material strength & sizing assumptions
Use the actual material certificate where available. Reference force follows the Carter air-bending guide. Listed CNC capacities follow the Carter size range. The NC match currently covers the known 3400 × 125T size. Opening height, throat, between-frame clearance and load distribution are confirmed in a setup review.
Your selected tooling
View tooling details →Punch and die lengths use the catalogue’s solid sections. Holders use their own listed lengths and must support the full installed die run. Holder layout, machine fit, availability and prices are confirmed in your quotation.
