Ironworker Machine FAQs
What is an ironworker machine?
Often referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife” of fabrication, an ironworker machine is a cost-effective way to punch, shear, notch, and bend metal. It can punch holes of various shapes and sizes, shear rods, flat bars, and angle irons, and handle many other fabricating tasks with optional tooling.
When is an ironworker used?
An ironworker is often the first step in the fabrication process. A single machine can prepare enough material to keep an entire shop’s welders supplied. They’re commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and metal processing for punching diameters, shearing stock, and preparing parts quickly.
What types of ironworkers are available?
There are two basic styles: fully integrated European-style ironworkers and component-tool tabletop machines. Tonnage, punching diameter, and material thickness capacity should be considered when choosing the right ironworker for your needs.
What are the most popular ironworker brands?
Top ironworker brands include Scotchman, Amada Marvel, Piranha, Baileigh, Geka, Mubea, and US Industrial. Popular models include the Scotchman Porta-Fab 45, the Piranha P50, P90, and P120, and the Geka Microcrop, Bendicrop, and Hydracrop.
What size ironworker do I need?
The most common sizes are 60-ton and 130-ton ironworkers, though capacities range from small 45-ton units to heavy-duty 150-ton dual-operation hydraulic machines. Choosing the right machine depends on your material thickness, diameter capacity, and intended operations.
Save Time and Money With a Used Ironworker
Buying a used ironworker machine is a smart way to save money while gaining productivity. A quality used ironworker from a trusted brand can reduce hours of drill time and manual cutting. Sterling Machinery carries a wide range of used machines, fully inspected and ready to work.
