Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Two-Step Tooling System
While the hemming process requires a two-step approach and higher bending tonnage, the resulting safety, stiffness, and aesthetic finish significantly increase the value of the final component. The investment in the dedicated Hemming Tool and the required acute angle punch and V-die set is justified by the elimination of manual finishing work and the superior part repeatability achieved, solidifying its place as a high-value piece of press brake tooling.
