Here’s A Great Configuration Idea.
Adding a second punch station.
To Speed up production our customer installed a second punch unit on his 55 Ton Edwards Ironworker.
This company is a manufacturer of utility trailers. These are the flatbed trailers available to attach to trucks and cars. They are fabricated out of angled steel parts joined together. The bed and sidewalls can be composed of either expanded metal or 2 x 6 timber.
The steel angle requires two different sized punched holes for attachment. By adding the second punch unit to the 55 Ton Ironworker’s Open station he saves significant time which would have been spent changing punch dies.
Jobs go through faster to meet distributor demands.
Great Idea!
What tonnage Ironworker Do I Need
Categories: Ironworker Comments
Calculate the Edwards Ironworker Tonnage required for a clean punch based on hole size and steel thickness.
Selecting the right ironworker for your projects is critical. If you have an under powered punch, there are a couple of things which can happen.
“What size ironworker do I need for my punch operation?”
Keep in mind the punch diameter cannot be smaller than the thickness of the material to be punched. You will break your punch and a shattered can be hazardous!
