Curved Stirrup Drawings: Define Radius, Tangent Length and End Details

Turn a sketch into a manufacturing reference

For curved stirrup production, a photo communicates appearance but rarely defines the part completely. A useful drawing gives the bar diameter, material grade, arc geometry, straight sections, hooks and overall envelope. Use one revision number so the buyer, machine supplier and inspector all assess the same component.

State the radius reference explicitly

An inside radius differs from a centerline radius by half the bar diameter. Mixing these references can produce a component that looks close but does not fit its assembly. Identify the start and end of each arc and show tangent lengths where a straight section joins a curve. For multiple curves, describe their direction and relationship.

Separate product requirements from controller inputs

The finished drawing is the acceptance reference. Controller values and bend compensation are setup data, which may change with material and tooling. Do not alter the approved product dimensions simply to match an initial trial. Ask the supplier how the required geometry would be produced and whether it needs additional forming equipment.

Add a practical measurement plan

Mark the dimensions that control assembly fit and state the agreed tolerances. A full-size template can help evaluate a complex outline, while direct measurements are still needed for critical features. Send the drawing to Haihui for a configuration discussion before relying on a generic machine description.
