Though Ironworker was originally a brand name for a machine that can notch, punch holes and shear steel plates, it has become just the generic name for all such machines. Of the list of current brands available on the market, Scotchman Ironworker is the one most people in the machining industry associate with durable quality.
A Scotchman Ironworker will really be a work horse at your plant. It features the newest technologies employed in working steel plate sheeting. It uses a hydraulic system or plain old mechanical force to generate pressure on the material. Systems that utilize hydraulic technology feature hydraulic rams that are powered by a heavy duty alternating current electric motor (which translates electronic energy into mechanical energy). Thus they are able to exert an immense amount of force on steel plating of various widths. This force is measure in tons of pressure that start typically at 20 tons and can go upwards of 150 tons! Needles to say, a Scotchman Ironworker is a powerful machine.

In addition to power, Scotchman Ironworkers feature exceptionally high strength carbon steel blades and die cutters. The machine’s body is made of very heavy steel because it must be able to not only function with accuracy, but be able to withstand the tremendous force of its own functions during normal use. Many different die cutters could be used in one machining application. Therefore the Scotchman Ironworker comes with housing slots for die cutters, as well as for jam nuts and strippers.
Though the capabilities of Scotchman ironworkers has led to a drastic reduction in the amount man hours and physical effort required to cut and shape steel, the operator functions must still be both versatile enough to be re-tooled for many different applications, and intuitive enough to be used by one person. It nevertheless requires specialized knowledge to work and maintain.
