Decision inputs

Pre-commercial, indicative guidance. The final procedure and safety controls require competent review, order data and the actual material document.

  • 01

    Plate rolling direction and blank orientation.

  • 02

    Surface and edge condition.

  • 03

    Tool alignment.

  • 04

    Die opening and radius qualification.

  • 05

    Springback and operator protection.

02 / Decision tree

Decision sequence

  1. 01

    Orient the blank

    Record plate rolling direction and the planned bend line.

  2. 02

    Inspect surface and edge condition

    Remove defects and assess cut edges before pressing.

  3. 03

    Qualify the tooling

    Verify tool alignment, die opening and radius for the order, grade and thickness.

  4. 04

    Protect the press exclusion zone

    Establish an exclusion zone and prohibit standing in the projected fracture or ejection path.

03 / Inspection

Post-process inspection

  • 01

    Inspect the bend line, edges and surface after each qualification stage.

  • 02

    Measure geometry only after the blank is safely unloaded.

04 / Hold point

Stop and escalation conditions

  • HOLDPlate rolling direction or identity is unknown.
  • HOLDAn edge or surface defect has not been assessed.
  • HOLDTool alignment differs from the plan.
  • HOLDThe exclusion zone cannot be kept clear.
