In my experience most engineers spend too much time worrying about the wrong modes of death.
Yes Brian it’s critical the coil is centered on the hob, but it weighs 1500 pounds and will go where it wants to so for the love of God do not attempt to stop it from swinging again.
I was helping this dude get a punch press set up, and the crane hadn’t been installed yet, so I was using a forklift with a crane attachment to load the coil. It was, honestly, like my own personal trench run and I loved doing it, but this dude just runs up one time because it was swinging ever so slightly after a turn.
It would take a nearby black hole to move the coil off of center on this hob, it is self centering. That’s the whole point of the hob.
As an engineer it’s my main professional policy. Its followed shortly by not letting someone else die where I work
