Introducing the MachineMFG Dual Operator Hydraulic Ironworker – the ultimate machine for boosting productivity and versatility in your metal fabrication shop. This 80-ton powerhouse combines the functionality of a punch, notcher, shear and press brake into one compact unit, giving you unmatched flexibility.
The dual operator design is a game-changer, allowing two skilled workers to use the machine at the same time. While one operator is punching holes, the other can be shearing angle iron – effectively doubling your output. The two 10 HP motors and dual hydraulic systems provide ample power for even the most demanding jobs.
Changeovers are a snap thanks to our innovative quick change tooling system. The unique dovetail design allows you to switch from punching to shearing in seconds, with perfect alignment every time. No more fumbling with bolts and shims.
You’ll get the cleanest cuts in the industry with our precision shear stations. The extra-low 3° rake angle on the flat bar and angle shears slices through material with minimal distortion, even on lighter gauges. Couple that with a floating 4-edge punch and you have a recipe for perfection.
Built to withstand the rigors of daily use, the MachineMFG ironworker features a heavy-duty steel frame, oversized pins and bushings, and a fully enclosed hydraulic system. It’s a machine you can count on day in and day out, year after year.
With a huge list of standard features like automatic stripper, shear hold-downs, single stroke punching, and more, this ironworker comes ready to handle anything you can throw at it. And if you need specialized tooling, just say the word – our expert team can build you exactly what you need.
When you compare the MachineMFG to the competition, the difference is clear. Our 80-ton model has the largest punch and shear capacities in its class, with a massive 12″ x 12″ punch throat and 10″ x 5/8″ flat bar shear. Yet it still fits in a compact footprint, taking up minimal floor space.
Stop wasting time and money with outdated equipment and step up to the MachineMFG Dual Operator Hydraulic Ironworker. It’s an investment in your productivity that will pay dividends for years to come. Contact us today for a free consultation and see why MachineMFG is quickly becoming the top choice of metal fabricators everywhere.
William White –
As a seasoned user of the MachineMFG Dual Operator Hydraulic Ironworker, I must say this machine has significantly boosted our shop’s productivity. The dual-operator feature allows for simultaneous operations without any cross interference, which is a game-changer for efficiency. We’ve expanded its capabilities with various attachments, like the mechanical backgauges for precise shearing and the bending attachments for up to 48″ bends, which have been incredibly useful for custom projects. The punch attachments that expand the punching capacity up to 5″ and the oversize punch attachments for holes up to 1-9/16″ have also been a boon for our larger-scale jobs.
While the ironworker itself is a powerhouse, I’ve noticed that investing in high-quality tooling is crucial to fully leverage its potential. The quick-change tooling system has been a time-saver, although I’d love to see even more variety in the available tooling options directly from MachineMFG. The durability and versatility of this machine are impressive, and it’s evident that it’s built to last.
In terms of improvements, an integrated material handling system would be a welcome addition to further streamline operations. Overall, the MachineMFG ironworker has been a reliable and indispensable asset to our workflow.
