“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.
