Hydraulic Ironworker 5 Core Functions Explained
Intro
Hydraulic ironworker is multi-purpose metalworking equipment integrating five independent stations, saving workshop cost & space instead of multiple single machines.

1. Punching
Hydraulic ram with interchangeable dies punches round, square holes on plate, angle steel. Stable precision for brackets, cabinet parts.
2. Plate Shearing
Hard alloy blades cut flat steel & angle iron to fixed length with neat cutting edge, for raw material blanking.
3. Corner Notching
V-blade cuts 90° sheet corners for seamless welding, widely used in cabinet & enclosure production.
4. Solid Bar Cutting
Specified die cuts round/square solid bar without end deformation, ideal for fastener blanking.
5. Small Bending
Optional forming die finishes small flanging & hook bending for thin sheet small parts.
Product Advantages
5 processes in one unit, save factory floor space and procurement cost
Separate foot switch supports simultaneous operation by two workers for higher output
Fits carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum processing
Tonnage Selection Tip
45Ton: small workshop light processing
60–160Ton: mainstream for regular steel fabrication
- 160Ton+: heavy thick plate & structural steel
Conclusion
Select matched tonnage based on max plate thickness and bar size. We supply full Q35Y series ironworker with standard five stations and customized dies. Contact us for catalog and quotation.
