GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Industrial material forming, press, die
German term or phrase: Springmaß
From a set of press/die standards for an automotive manufacturer. "Springmaß 2°" appears as label on a schematic drawing on instructions for a "Hochstellwerkzeug", specifically on a drawing labeled "Hochstellkante gerade"

On a closed die, the "Springmaß" appears to be the angle that determines the gap between the upper die and what may be a "Federbolzen" or an "Abstreifkralle".

To provide any hint of helpful context, additional Other text on the drawing is:

"Bei Bedarf Abstreifkrallen oder Federbolzen anbringen. Bei Großwerkzeugen Federbolzen in Presse auswechselbar (von unten)"

(Translations for the other German terms are already provided by the client or I have figured them out, so I don't need help with them)

Thanks!

springback
Explanation:
Das Springmaß scheint die Rückfederung (hier in Grad) zu sein - deshalb m.M.n. springback.
Findet in Kombination mit Suche nach flange die/Hochstellwerkzeug auch immerhin 62 Treffer. Ob das Springmaß jetzt gewollt oder eine Störgröße ist, sei dahin gestellt.
