Amada Press Brake Tooling
Create NO MAR designs with our molded Urethane V-Dies & Steel Holders and molded pads with
60mm x 18mm tangs, designed specifically for Amada press brake tooling.
All RETAINERS are made of steel.
AMADA V-Dies
- V-Dies are molded with a very hard grade Urethane with different v-openings for different gages for MAR-FREE bending of pre-polished, pre-painted & pre-finished metals in the punch press tooling process.
- These Pads are designed to be used in steel holders, with a special tang to mount directly on a AMADA Press Brake.
- Available for 90 Degree & Acute angle bends.
AMADA Quick Change 2V-Dies
- 2V-Dies are molded in a very hard grade Urethane with different v-openings for different gauges for MAR-FREE bending of pre-polished, pre-painted & pre-finished metals.
- These Pads are designed to be used with a special steel rail that will position the different V-opening to line up with the center line of the machine. Rail Part Number: PQCR2T
- Available for 90 Degree & Acute angle bends.
AMADA 4V-Dies
- 4V-Dies are molded in a very hard grade Urethane with different v-openings for different gages of sheet metal for MAR-FREE bending of pre-polished, pre-painted & pre-finished metals.
- These Pads are designed to be used in special steel holders, with a tang to mount directly on a AMADA Press Brake.
AMADA Urethane Pads
- Forming Pads for AMADA Style PRESS BRAKES are used in machined Steel Retainers.
- Used for MAR-FREE bending of Pre-polished, pre-painted and coated sheet metal.
- Pads are available in different deflections (hardnesses), color coded for bending different gauges of sheet metal.
- Square shaped pads offer 4 working surfaces, and rectangular pads offer 2 working surfaces.
- Some Pads have molded holes through the full length of Pads to reduce tonnage required, used for larger radius bending applications.
Urethane V-Pads
V-Pads are triangular shaped inserts designed for MAR-FREE bending and in applications where a very short leg is to be formed that is smaller than the v-opening of the die.
AMADA PODs For Radius V-Bends
- PODs are square or Rectangular shaped pads, with a flat top, designed for bending sharp or Radiused V-Bends.
- A molded hole through the full length of the pad provide for stress relief and require lower tonnage.
- PODs are designed to fit in standard ASTM Steel C-channels, to function as holders or Retainers
AMADA PUDs For Radius V-Bends
- PUDs are square or Rectangular shaped Pads with a molded U-shaped top surface to enable 180 degrees U-Bends in one hit.
- A molded hole through the full length of the pad provide for stress relief and require lower tonnage.
- PUDs are designed to fit in standard ASTM Steel C-channels, to function as holders or Retainers
Molded Tang Pads - AMADA/PODTs for Radius V-Bends
These Pads have a molded tang to fit AMADA style Press Brakes.
- Available in 48" lengths, with a flat top surface of 3" or 4" width
- Designed for sharp or radius V-bends and for bump-forming any radius with a punch width of 50% of the pad width penetrating the pad
- Punch length must be equal to or longer than the pad length so as to avoid the punch ends cutting
PUDTs for Radius U-Bends
These Pads have a molded U-shaped groove on top surface, for one hit U-forming of various outside radii.
- These Pads have a molded tang to fit AMADA style Press Brakes.
- Available in 48" lengths, with a flat top surface of 3" width.
- Punch length must be equal to or longer than the pad length so as to avoid the punch ends cutting into the pad.
PBNTs for Bull-Nose Bending
These Pads are designed for 2 hit-180 degree
BULL NOSE BENDING.
- During the first hit, a 100 degree arc is formed. Feeding the sheet metal in, and setting the back gauge so that there is a 10 degree overlap between the 2 bends, a perfect 180 degree bend is formed.
- The molded back stop enables bending very close to the edge of the sheet metal.
- The designated Radii in the pad are to be the outside radii on the part, allowing for spring back. The punch radius must be at least one metal thickness smaller than the pad radius.

- Wear pads are used to reduce damage from sharp sheet metal blanks cutting into the forming pad.
Compatible Amada Press Brake Models
Polyprod’s Amada-style tooling mounts the same way OEM tooling does. V-Dies and 4V-Dies use a tanged steel holder that fits directly on an Amada brake, similar to the mounting on our Molded Tang Pads. Quick Change 2V-Dies position on a steel rail system, and PODs and PUDs fit standard ASTM steel C-channel retainers. If you’re not sure which mounting style your press brake uses, send the model number with your quote request and we’ll confirm fit before you order.
How to Choose the Right Amada Press Brake Dies
Start with the V-opening size: V-Dies and 2V-Dies are molded with different openings sized to your material gauge, for 90-degree and acute-angle bends, while 4V-Dies offer four V-openings per die block for different gauges. If the part is pre-polished, pre-painted, or coated, mar-free urethane pads prevent the surface damage steel tooling can cause. Pad hardness is color-coded by gauge, so match the durometer to your material thickness. Square pads offer four working faces and rectangular pads offer two. For radius work, PODs and PUDs include a molded hole that lowers the tonnage required, PUDTs form U-bends in one hit, and PBNTs handle bull-nose bends in two hits. For larger radius or longer bends, the SMART PAD system can be butted end to end. Not sure which setup fits your application?

FAQs
Mar-free tooling is made from molded polyurethane instead of hardened steel, so it forms sheet metal without leaving scratches, scuffs, or tool marks. It matters most on pre-polished, pre-painted, or coated material, where steel dies and pads would damage the finish and the part would need rework.
V-Dies are molded with several V-openings in one hardened urethane block, each sized to a different material gauge. 4V-Dies follow the same idea but standardize on four V-openings per die block.
They mount on a steel rail that positions each V-opening in place, so you can switch between openings without pulling and remounting a full die block.
Both. PODs and PUDs form sharp or radiused V-bends with a molded hole that lowers required tonnage, PUDTs do one-hit U-forming, PBNTs handle two-hit bull-nose bends, and the SMART PAD system covers large-radius work up to 1/4" stainless.
