SW sheet metal jig table

Hello

 

So far I use a template table where a single bend radius per thickness is entered (all angles have the same factor k)

Now I have more information about my bending machine and in particular, the bending radii according to the bend angle (each radius/angle has its k-factor).

It works in SW, but I have to select the right bending radius myself! How do you make it automatic?

 

Before:  

Right now: 

In SW: 

Here is our template and folding table for example. So we just have to choose the thickness with the V we are interested in and the bend radius is defined by default. And it's the only one possible for a thickness with a given vee. (See for 2.5, 4 or 5mm or 2 choices of possible vees for the same thickness)

Otherwise there is no other solution than to choose the radius, which is not meaningful indeed.

Hello and thank you!

Indeed, it is not possible for SW to look for the radius in the table according to the angle of bends that I make.

 

We will stay with the k factor and fixed bend radius as a function of the thickness for a given material.

If anyone finds it, it would be great to be even more precise!!
