Mechanical (stamping) Press Standards

[darkstorm]

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.

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.
