Uses of iron worker:
Iron worker is a kind of integrated metal cutting, punching, shearing, bending and other functions of the machine tool equipment, hydraulic and mechanical, with the advantages of simple operation, less energy consumption, low maintenance cost, is the modern manufacturing industry (such as: metallurgy, bridge, communications, power, military industry) metal processing equipment.Iron worker is a class of machines that can shear, notch, and punch holes in steel plate. If there ever was a brand name, it has now become a genericized trademark. Iron workers generate force using mechanical advantage or hydraulic systems.
Modern systems use hydraulic rams powered by a heavy alternating current electric motor. High strength carbon steel blades and dies of various shapes are used to work the metal. The machine itself is made of very heavy steel to handle the enormous force that can be generated during use. Iron workers are rated according to the force they can generate in tons; ratings usually start at 20 tons and go as high as 220 tons. Mechanical iron workers are mostly used in productions with low temperature in winter (up to −20 °C (−4 °F)) and are considered to be faster. Another reason to choose the mechanical construction is when cutting of large profiles (up to 300 mm (12 in) and bigger) is needed. Most hydraulicals can't cut this size. The disadvantages are the higher power consumption (sometimes double for the same job), the noise and the safety concerns.
Iron workers are built with safety in mind, but they still present hazards that must be addressed and thoroughly thought out before they are purchased. Most of them have at least 4 stations that require boundaries around them to safely produce parts. They can shear flat plate, angle iron, round and square bar stock as well as punch plates, angles, I-beam and channel iron. Some have a station for notching and forming of different materials. The area around each station should be at least 20 feet since that is the common stock length of most materials used on iron workers.
Operations which can be performed include:
Shearing
Punching
Notching
Forming or bending
(1) The steel structure
(2) Elevator car and parts
(3) Trailer -- spare tire parts, trailer hinges, plate hooks, inserts, walloons
(4) Construction machinery industry -- belt conveyor, batch plant processing
(5) Agricultural and animal husbandry machinery industry -- thresher frame, trailer truck parts
(6) Machinery of food industry -- slaughtering equipment frame and parts
(7) High and low pressure tower parts
(8) Wind power equipment -- parts processing on stairs and pedals of wind power tower
(9) Machining -- embedded building parts/conveyor brackets and other parts that act as connectors
(10) Grain machinery -- grain and oil equipment starch equipment bracket, shell, small pieces
(11) Parts processing for railway freight cars/automobiles and cranes
