The targeted radius of curvature generated on a workpiece during the bending process, measured either internally or externally.
Technical FAQ
Eliminating material waste and avoiding secondary cutting operations is a primary goal for high-productivity job shops looking to protect their margins. A flat end is the straight, unbent section left at the leading and trailing edges of a plate because the material cannot physically reach the exact tangent contact point between the machine rolls. Minimizing this straight section directly reduces material scrap and eliminates the time-consuming process of pre-bending plates on a separate press brake, thereby accelerating overall floor cycle times. Utilizing Davi all-rolls-drive technology ensures the plate can be positioned precisely at the tangent point to achieve the shortest flat end possible without compromising safety.
