Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is tonnage calculation important?
A: Accurate tonnage calculation is essential for preventing die damage, ensuring part quality, and maximizing press life. Under-powered presses can lead to incomplete parts, while exceeding press capacity can cause severe equipment damage.
Q: What safety factor should I use?
A: We recommend a safety factor of 15-20% for most applications. However, complex geometries or critical applications may require higher safety margins. Consult with a blanking professional for your specific needs.
Q: How do I know if my tonnage calculation is accurate?
A: While this calculator provides a reliable starting point, we recommend verifying calculations with a tonnage monitoring system and consulting with blanking professionals for critical applications.
