📏 SEGMENT DIMENSIONING

Guide for taking measurements to correctly configure your sheet metal bending profiles.

📏 All segment dimensions are given as external measurements

⚠ Important: remember to account for sheet metal thicknesses in order to correctly calculate the parts to be assembled.

Section 01

SEGMENT ORIENTATION

→ Segments facing the same direction

All bends are oriented to the same side. The external dimension applies continuously on each segment.

⇄ Segments facing opposite directions

Bends alternate direction. The external measurement remains the reference in all cases, taking direction changes into account.

Section 02

SEGMENT MEASUREMENT METHODS

For an accurate representation of the part's cross-section, special attention must be paid to the measurement reference points. The method depends on the bend angle:

📏 Direct parallel measurement

Used for a closed angle. Measurement is taken directly, parallel to the outer face of the segment.

For angles of 90° or less

△ Apex measurement

Used for an open angle. Measurement is taken at the imaginary intersection point where the two segments meet (apex).

For angles greater than 90°

Summary

Angle type	Method	Description
Closed angle ≤ 90°	📏 Direct parallel measurement	Direct measurement on outer face
Open angle > 90°	△ Apex measurement	Imaginary extension of segments to intersection point

💡 Note: The configurator automatically applies the correct method based on the entered angle. If in doubt, our technical team is available to help.

For a closed angle (≤ 90°). Measured directly, parallel to the outer face.

△ Apex measurement

For an open angle (> 90°). Measured at the imaginary intersection of the two segments (apex).

Angle > 90°
