Sheet metal · CC0-1.0

Offset (Z) bend step below the joggle limit

Model example

Two parallel bends in 2 mm sheet form a Z with a step of only 4 mm between the flat levels; joggle tooling cannot form less than about 2.5 x t = 5 mm.

Dimensions (approx.): 60 × 6 × 40 mm

Expected check result

PRU-102 should warn that the 4 mm offset is below 2.5 x 2 mm = 5 mm and nothing else.
