Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

(OP)
I was wondering if there is a national, or international standard for press manufacturers tolerance specification.  An example would be deflection testing for the ram and bed or flatness.  At 196 inches in length you would be allowed so many thou per foot. Like DIN standard I am wondering if one exist for presses. Is there a governing body that overlooks this such as ANSI or JISC etc.  If so who and where could I acquire that information.

RE: Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

A search through our standards supplier pops these up.

ASME B5.49 Glossary of Power Press Terms
ASME B5.52 Power Presses: General Purpose, Single-Point Gap             
           Type
ASME B5.55M Specification and Performance Standard, Power
            Press Brakes
ASME B5.61 Power Presses: General Purpose, Single Action,
           Straight Side Type
ISO 6898 Open Front Mechanical Power Presses - Capacity          
         Ratings and Dimensions First Edition
ISO 6899 Acceptance Conditions of Open Front Mechanical  
         Power Presses - Testing of the Accuracy First
         Edition

That should get you started.



RE: Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

As for where you can acquire these, start at the website of the organization that publishes them; I'm sure they have either their own online shop or a link to where you can buy them.

If you need many, it might be worthwhile to investigate one of the clearinghouse type services that has access to a multitude of standards organizations and can offer you a one stop shop for all your standards needs.
