Overview

Ironworkers are heavy-duty metal fabrication machines that punch, shear, notch, and bend steel plate, angle, channel, and bar stock. Common in fabrication shops, structural steel, and maintenance shops, they save time by combining multiple operations in one stationed or multi-function machine. Choose by tonnage, throat depth, tooling compatibility and power source (hydraulic or mechanical) to match production volume and material thickness.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used ironworker?

Check ram and punch alignment, die condition, tonnage rating, hydraulic hoses and seals, control panel function, and overall frame straightness. Ask for maintenance records and verify tooling sizes and availability.

How do I prepare an ironworker for shipping?

Lock or brace moving parts, remove loose tooling, drain hydraulic oil if required, secure electrical components, and crate or block the machine on forks or skids. Use a carrier experienced with heavy machinery and provide lifting points and weight/dimensions.

What are key maintenance tasks to keep an ironworker reliable?

Regularly check and change hydraulic fluid, inspect seals and hoses, lubricate pivot points, verify punch/die clearances, tighten fasteners, and test electrical controls. Schedule periodic alignment and hydraulic pressure checks.
