Calculate Press Brake Tonnage in the Palm of your Hand!

The CINCINNATI Load Calc app is a must tool for any metal fabricator to calculate the air bend tonnage to form a part on a press brake. The intuitive interface will guide the user through the process by allowing selection of material type, material thickness, and vee die opening. From these parameters, a tonnage will be calculated along with the minimum flange length and inside bend radius. There is also a portal to access details of all of CINCINNATI products and services.
