Shop-Calc
2020 Software Solutions, a worldwide provider of tube
bending software, has announced the debut of a new
product line, Shop-Calc software. Shop-Calc is a series of
calculators designed to take the guesswork out of specific
manufacturing processes.
The four different versions of Shop-Calc software and the
machines they work with are: Shop-Calc Vertical Press –
used with a vertical press brake, this calculator finds the
depth location needed to achieve the desired angle; Shop-
Calc Horizontal Press – used with a horizontal press brake,
this calculator finds the ram location needed to achieve
the desired angle; Shop-Calc Plate Rolls – used with three
or four roll plate machines, this calculator will find the roll
locations for the desired radius; and Shop-Calc Profile
Bending – used with angle roll machines, this calculator
finds the roll locations for the desired radius.
“In many cases customers are looking for a product to
perform one specific function,” said Cris Merry, president
and manager of software development. “They do not want
it cluttered with bells and whistles they will most likely never
use. Shop-Calc is designed to take the mystery out of the
machine setup.”
He also went on to comment on the target audience.
“Shop-Calc products are designed for the working man,
real world solutions for real world problems.”
Each calculator combines geometric maths calculations
with the calibrated log data to provide accurate machine
settings. Shop-Calc will provide the roll or die locational
value to the scale and range for the user’s machine.
Sheet and plate calculators account for material
thickness and length down the die or roll. There are quick
adjustments for mill run variances of material and spring
back is also accommodated for. There is also a graphical
display to show a comparison of historical data.
