Shielded foot control
The hydraulic circuit is activated by a shielded foot-pedal. The inch mode on each workstation enables the correct work piece positioning and tool alignment. Limit switches allow accurate adjustment of the stroke length for maximum efficiency. Stroke with automatic return.
Angle cutting
On the angle cutting station, angle iron can be cut on every angle from 45° up to 90°, both internal and external, without any adaptations to the machine. Flanges from larger angle iron can be mitre cut with the shear.
Low maintenance
Moreover, the machines are equipped with centralised pressure lubrication – being one feature of the low maintenance requirements
5 Workstations and an extensive range of standard equipment
The universal steelworkers are delivered with an extensive range of standard equipment, such as large heavy-duty tables on the punch-, shear-, and notching station. Easy adjustable hold-downs to enable production in a safe and accurate way are fitted on every station. Free standing on suitable floor, they just need electrical connection to be ready to work.
1) Punch station
The easy tool change system and swing-away stripper with fast manual adjustment assures a quick setup and is designed for a wide range of punching applications.
2) Section cutting station
The machines are fitted as standard with blades for cutting round and square bars.
With extra equipment in this aperture, the machines are able to cut channel, beams or joist, T-section and many other special profiles.
3) Angle station
Cropping angle iron is possible for every angle between 45° and 90°, both internal and external.
4) Shearing
Specially designed blade approach angle to avoid the necessity to change blade settings when cutting thick or thin material and yet offer minimum distortion cropping.
5) Notching station
This versatile unit is standard equipped with a rectangular notch unit. The notch table has adjustable back and side stops. Side notch applications are also possible.
