After the metal workpiece is removed from the tool or deformation implement, the elastic deformation will be released and only the plastic deformation will remain. When a metal forming tool is planned and designed to deform a workpiece, the shape imparted by the tool will be a combination of elastic and plastic deformation. The release of the elastic deformation is the spring back often observed at the end of a metal forming process. -The spring back has to be compensated to achieve an accurate result. -Usually, that is realized by over-bending the material corresponding to the magnitude of the spring back. That means for the practical side of the bending process; the bending former, enters deeper into the bending prism. +''''Spring back compensation''' is used in [[metal forming]] to ensure that the final shape assumed by a piece of metal after being removed from a forming tool is the shape desired. Typically, when metal is being formed at room temperature, it will undergo both [[plastic deformation|plastic]] and [[elastic deformation]]. After the metal workpiece is removed from the tool or deformation implement, the elastic deformation will be released and only the plastic deformation will remain; thus, the workpiece will "spring back" to a position between its original position and the position into which it was formed. Usually, spring back compensation is realized by over-bending the material by an amount corresponding to the magnitude of the spring back. -For other [[sheet metal]] forming operations like [[Drawing (manufacturing)|drawing]], it entails deforming the sheet metal past the planned net shape of the part, so that when the spring back is released from the part, the plastic deformation in that part delivers the desired shape of the part. In the case of complex tools, the spring back has to be already considered in the engineering and construction phases. Therefore, complex software simulations are used. Frequently this is not enough to deliver the desired results. In such cases practical experiments are done, using the trial-and-error plus experience method to correct the tool. However, the results (work pieces) are only stable, if all influencing factors are the same.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Optimierung der Produkt- und Prozessentwicklung|publisher = ETH Zürich|year = 1999|isbn = 978-3728126962|pages = 67}}</ref> +When bending metal, spring back compensation is done by pushing the workpiece further into the die.

Spring back assessment of final formed products is a difficult problem and is affected by the complexity of the formed shape. The NUMISHEET 93 conference benchmark problem involves the draw bending of a U-channel using three measured parameters.

The mechanical properties of copper and aluminum are very different and require different programmable inputs in order to achieve the same dimensional characteristics. Bending technology for flat material which measures each bend angle and provides spring back compensation is required. This gives the bend angle of flat materials true accuracy. This is attained by using bending prisms with electronic angular measurement technology. While bending two flat bolds supporting the material turn around. The bolds are directly connected to the angular sensors. A computer or rather the machine control then calculates the required final stroke. The spring back of every bend is compensated regardless of material type. @@ -40,5 +25,4 @@ {{Reflist}} * M.
