Step 1
Downward
force clamps
the part.
Induced
rotation of the
Rocker bends
material around
the anvil while
requiring less
force
Step 4
Step 3
Rocker bends material beyond
final part angle to compensate
for material-memory springback
Rocker releases
material to allow
springback to
desired final part
angle
