Hydraulic Iron Worker for Structural Steel Fabrication

Hydraulic Iron Worker Designed for Structural Steel Applications

The hydraulic iron worker plays a crucial role in structural steel fabrication, providing efficient and precise multi-function processing for heavy-gauge materials. It integrates shearing, punching, notching, and angle cutting into a single machine, significantly reducing production time and material handling in beam and column manufacturing.

High-Tonnage Capacity for Steel Profiles

This iron worker features high-tonnage punching units ranging from 80 to 165 tons, optimized for drilling bolt holes and brackets on H-beams and I-beams. Its hydraulic drive system ensures consistent force delivery across large cross-sectional steel components, such as 12mm to 32mm thick flanges.

Advanced Notching and Coping for Beam Connections

The notching station is engineered to perform cope cuts and end notching for beam-to-beam or beam-to-column joints. Its precise V- and rectangular notching dies can be customized for standard structural connection requirements. Positioning guides and back gauge systems allow quick setup and repeatability.

Integrated Flat Bar and Angle Steel Shearing

With separate blades for flat bar and angle profiles, the hydraulic iron worker ensures burr-free shearing of 90° and 45° cuts. Heavy-duty shearing tables accommodate widths up to 300mm and thicknesses up to 20mm. Hydraulic hold-downs prevent material shifting during the cut.

Robust Frame and Vibration-Free Operation

The machine is built from high-tensile steel using a stress-relief welded frame. This construction reduces deflection during full-load punching and enhances long-term structural integrity. Rubber-dampened footings minimize vibration transmission, ensuring installation on standard shop floors without a dedicated foundation.

Programmable Back Gauge for Precision

The CNC back gauge system (optional) allows programmable positioning for batch punching and cutting. This feature reduces operator error and increases productivity in workshop settings where consistency is key, especially in repetitive tasks like beam flange hole patterns.

Electrical and Safety Compliance

Each unit is CE-certified and includes emergency stop buttons, dual-hand controls, and interlocked guards around hazardous stations. An automatic hydraulic pressure relief valve avoids overload situations, extending component life and minimizing downtime.

FAQs:

What is the maximum thickness a hydraulic iron worker can punch?
Hydraulic iron workers can typically punch up to 32mm thick steel, depending on tonnage and tooling configuration.

Is a hydraulic iron worker suitable for processing H-beams and I-beams?
Yes, high-tonnage hydraulic iron workers are ideal for punching, notching, and coping structural profiles like H-beams and I-beams.

Can the machine cut both flat bars and angles without changing tools?
Most models come with separate blades for flat and angle cuts, allowing seamless switching between operations without retooling.

How is accuracy maintained when processing long structural steel members?
Back gauge systems and material guides ensure dimensional accuracy, and hydraulic hold-downs stabilize long profiles during operations.

What industries benefit most from hydraulic iron workers?
Structural steel fabrication, metal building construction, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery industries benefit significantly due to the machine's multi-function and high-capacity performance.
