I want to use a press brake to bend 1.5" thick Ar500. The dimensions of the plates are 16" by 16" and it will be bent at various different angles. What sort of tonnage am I looking at?

As stated, you need a large bottom die opening. Standard is 8x thickness.
If you are bending a radius, most press brakes dont have that much depth at the cylinder frame area, to be able to bend directly under the cyljnder. Most have less then 12 inches. So it will be hard to find a brake that will do that kind of small job.

Yes straight in, but if you measure on an angle. A lot of them get smaller. Like my brake has 12 1/2" clearance straight back but only 8" if you went on a 45* angle.Most meaning the last of the American made machines. The rest of the world pretty much starts at 16" throat depths.
Sounds like a good job for a bulldozer.I want to use a press brake to bend 1.5" thick Ar500. The dimensions of the plates are 16" by 16" and it will be bent at various different angles. What sort of tonnage am I looking at?

Just things to consider when bending

...I don't know anyone that would take that bend on. Even if they had sufficient tonnage, it would be spread over a large length, and putting point loads on a giant press break is a recipe for destruction...
