Rotary bending is able to bend sheets with various bending radii and angles by controlling forming conditions. The effects of applied radial force and rotary angle on bending radius and angle are clarified to realize and a precise rotary bending system. The bending radius is determined by applied force and bending angle is determined by applied radial pressure and rotary angle. The feedback bending system for rotary bending is developed in that the bending conditions are determined by the previous measured value of bend sheets.
