Thanks, hendersdc. We're looking at doing a coined hem bend or what I've heard described as a closed hem bend.
The insight you provided aligns with what we were looking at, which is encouraging. Thanks :)
Hi Folks,
I'm looking into incorporating a hem bend into a sheet metal part and I'm trying to understand typical process capability that is expected when this form is created in manufacturing. Currently, our manufacturing facility doesn't have the tooling to perform the operation so we can't...
