Material Insertion Limitations
Left Right

The left figure shows the recommended minimum / correct amount of material remaining to
be fully supported in plastic slide.

The right figure shows the maximum amount the material can be pulled through the
counterdie. Pulling the material further than shown into the counter die, it will destroy the
plastic slide.

Extreme care must be taken when bending
material with an existing bend. There must
be enough straight material to complete the
bend. If there is not enough material the bent
part of the material will crash into the counter
die and damage the machine and tooling. In
the left figure, there is not enough material to
complete a 90deg. bend. This bend will
damage the dies.
IMPORTANT: Orienting your material in this fashion will cause damage to your tooling
and machine!! DO NOT pull bent material into the counter die! Make sure you have enough
straight material on the draw side of the material to create your bend.
