Main Functions of a Hydraulic Ironworker:

1. Punching:

   • Creates holes in metal sheets, plates, or structural steel.

   • Various punch sizes and shapes can be used.

2. Shearing:

   • Cuts flat bars, angles, and steel plates cleanly.

   • Reduces material waste compared to traditional cutting methods.

3. Notching:

   • Removes a portion of metal to create a specific shape, often used in welding and joining processes.

   • Common types: corner notching, pipe notching, and V-notching.

4. Bar and Rod Shearing:

   • Cuts round bars, square bars, and other structural materials.

   • Ensures precision and efficiency in cutting.

5. Angle Cutting:

   • Cuts metal at precise angles, commonly used in frame construction and fabrication.

6. Channel and Beam Cutting:

   • Used to cut I-beams, H-beams, and C-channels, making it essential for construction and structural applications.
