Radius Insert / Radius tooling

Radius inserts (also called replaceable radius tips) are cost-effective components for press brakes that allow operators to change the bending radius without replacing the entire punch body. This modular system is ideal for shops that frequently handle different material thicknesses or need to compensate for spring-back. Key Benefits of Radius Insert Systems Cost Savings: Replaceable inserts cost roughly 30–50% less than purchasing solid radius tools. You only buy the punch body once and swap inexpensive inserts as needed. Reduced Setup Time: Inserts can be swapped quickly—often by sliding them in or out of a universal holder—minimizing machine downtime. Precision and Flexibility: They are available in a wide range of standard sizes (typically 1 mm to 50 mm) to match specific internal radius requirements. Ease of Maintenance: If a radius surface is damaged or worn, you only replace the small insert rather than the entire tool section
