Hi All,
I'm looking for some direction in setting up a gauge table. Wemainly process stainless steel, with a thickness range of 1.2 up to6.0mm. The folding is pretty simple however I would like allengineers to be using the correct bend parameters for each designedpart.

I thought that the gauge table was the right thing to use, but I'mnot sure if I am setting it up correctly.

For the gauge column, I can just type the material description, inmy case I am using something like 2.50mm (V16), ie. the materialthickness and pressbrake die size. The thickness column is theactual sheet thickness and the radius is just a single radius basedon the V16 die used for folding. Thats all fine, but what I can'tseem to understand how is where can I set an individual k-factorfor each of the sheet thickness.

The sample table that I have has only a location at the top of thesheet to enter a single k-factor for the whole table. For my 1.5mmmaterial I need a k-factor of 0.33 and for 2.5mm material I need avalue of .44

Is this possible in a single bend table?

Some direction would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
