Using technical references
Check material, tooling, machine configuration and operating assumptions before applying a calculation or specification to your work.
- Write down the material and thickness range.
- Separate a working estimate from a quotation.
- Confirm the machine configuration and included options.
- Plan service, training and future changes.

The right reference depends on whether you are choosing equipment, preparing a machine or supporting one already in service.
Choosing equipment
Build a shortlist
Use the selection guide and brochures to compare machines against your drawings, materials and batch sizes. Check calculator assumptions before using the results.
Preparing production
Check the controller, tooling and site requirements for your machine. Ask which manuals, videos and training apply to its configuration.
Review the selected controller, tooling, training and site requirements together. Use videos to understand the sequence, then ask which manuals and instructions apply to the delivered configuration.
Installed machine
Identify your machine
Use the model, serial number and controller to find support information. Send the service team any instructions that do not match your machine or issue.
