PODTs for Radius V-Bends
- These Pads have a molded tang to fit AMERICAN or AMADA (EUROPEAN) or TRUMPF 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 AMERICAN or AMADA (EUROPEAN) or TRUMPF 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.
