Hello
Still on an text about plate forming equipment and now in particular, plate bending rolls machines, I have a number of cells as follows
Förbockning 20 x 3000 mm
Rundbockning 25 x 3000 mm
Till runt 500 mm
It is 'till runt' that has confused me.
Is this the tightest bend ? (the roll with the smallest diameter?)
How is this said in English in a specification?
Thanks

This is what the 'till runt' means in everyday usage. A look at other sites with bockning makes this seem like they are discussing sizes or lengths - of up to 500 mm...is this a machine -- then it could be the max size of plate it can handle for processing ... see http://www.qimtek.se/profile/junoverken_ab-93SLX19690.html

Here is the same wording from an Eng site 'Minimum dia 500 mm' which says 'down to', actually. I first thought of diameter, but messed up my measurement calculations deciding against it. I'd go with the 'approximately' on this one, but now we understand exactly!

: No, the machine (Pullmax PV7) can bend the plate to a minimum cylinder diameter of 500 mm. Please see my reference!

What? so we can change our answers in midstream? ;-) Nice reference in any case ...

My only problem with 'up to' is that I wonder if it should be 'down to'.
Given the size of the press, I wonder if it is either the smallest sheet of metal or the tightest bend'
Could sm kindly confirm what they think about this
