Calculate Press Brake Tonnage for Metal Bending
This Tonnage Calculator helps you determine the force required to bend sheet metal on a press brake. An accurate tonnage calculation is critical for preventing damage to the machine and tooling, ensuring the safety of the operator, and achieving a precise bend.
How to Calculate Bending Force
Our calculator uses a common formula for "air bending," the most prevalent type of bending. You will need to provide the following information:
The tool will provide the estimated tonnage required. This allows you to select the appropriate press brake and tooling for your job, ensuring a safe and efficient operation.
