Typical Hem bend process capability
Typical Hem bend process capability
(OP)
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 do any studies so i'm hoping this group could provide some insight.
I'm working with 2mm thick sheet metal and what we're really trying to understand is what the typical tolerance would be on the hem bend flange as it is bent 180deg onto itself.
Appreciate all and any feedback.
Thanks!

You may want to investigate robotic roller hemming if you are talking moderate or high volumes.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
