In plastic injection molding, tonnage refers to the clamping force required to keep the mold closed during the injection of molten plastic.
This calculator considers the projected area of the part, the material type, and the fill pressure to determine the required clamping force to prevent flash and ensure part quality.
Press Brake Tonnage Calculator is commonly used in the sheet metal industry to determine the force needed to bend a piece of metal using a press brake.
The calculator helps operators choose the right press brake and set the appropriate parameters for safe and efficient operations.
For shipping, tonnage is often calculated based on volume (cubic meters or feet) or weight (metric tons or long tons), depending on whether the cargo is bulk or containerized.
Tonnage calculators
are essential tools across various industries for optimizing processes, ensuring safety, and improving efficiency.
By accurately calculating the required force or capacity, these tools help professionals make informed decisions, reduce waste, and avoid equipment overloading or damage
