Hello
I don't remember the folding ruler so I have a doubt about the possibility of folding this part:
It's 50/10 steel sheet

Hi Tomalam,
You use a press brake with a V to bend this part???

Hello
From the 5 mm, you have to bend at least in a V of 25 so there the part it slides it's inevitable!!
And moreover when folding the 2nd fold (since a pre-W-fold is not possible), the first fold already made will hit the deck of the folding machine!! ( To see this you have to draw a folding tool and put it at 45° in the folds and you see the interference )

I think so, the manufacturing is not done towards me and I don't know where it will be folded
But I don't know if the folding tool passes for the 2nd fold.

It is possible, it all depends on the tools used.

I know a little about sheet metal work but not to the point of knowing the exact shapes of the tool. Hence my question

You're going to have a little trouble bending, let me explain.
You will bend a 5 mm sheet metal in a vee of: 6* ep5=30.
You won't be able to get the 26 inside since when folding the second fold,
The first one will reopen.
We would be tempted to use a smaller vee (22 or 24 vee) but the problem is that the tonnage per meter generated may exceed the values that the tools can support...
There you go, I hope I have enlightened you a little.

With a remote tool, no worries;)

David I was thinking more about this to escape the 1st trick:

Afterwards, a part like this should be made as a tool to follow (see production qty.) with folding on mandrel.
As a general rule, the minimum bending radius should be one ep, the bulge is made so no particular worries.

A remote tool or swan neck it seems to me if my memory is correct.
I think it will work with this kind of tool

A gooseneck bigorgne Bart and there's no more punch tool colision!
On the other hand with the vee the piece will chase :(

With a V of 30, not ;)
But you need power!

Yes for the remote tool and again! anyway the piece will chase. Or in a smaller V but the V will bite!
On the other hand I just showed my workshop manager, he told me that it is possible with a tool "offset on the width" and at the end of the press!

Yes I could, but the piece has other folds planned so it's going to be a little too much shaving!

Ba in your V of 30, 26+40 it's 66mm.
You bend without any problem. After the tools and the way of proceeding, everything depends on the quantity to be produced. (investment in special tools, or DIY in the workshop^^)
It's going to be about 10 pieces so the DIY option would be highly appropriate
