How to Choose the Right Tonnage for Your Metal Stamping
Selecting the wrong tonnage can lead to machine failure or poor part quality.
Calculating tonnage involves looking at the material thickness, shear strength, and the total length of the cut. At MILAP, we advise clients to choose a machine with a 20% safety margin to ensure longevity and prevent frame fatigue.
Key Technical Insights
