1. What Is a Hydraulic Ironworker (Hydraulic Combined Punching & Shearing Machine)?

A hydraulic ironworker, also named hydraulic combined punching and shearing machine, is an all-in-one multi-station hydraulic metal fabrication equipment specially designed for pre-processing various structural steel profiles.
Unlike single-function punching machines, plate shears or angle cutters, this equipment integrates multiple independent machining stations on one unified machine frame. Driven by a stable hydraulic power system, it can independently or simultaneously complete punching, flat plate shearing, angle steel cutting, channel steel trimming, solid round/square bar blanking and V-shaped notching without repeated workpiece clamping and transferring.
Two control versions are available: manual button & foot pedal type for small-batch custom processing, and CNC touch screen intelligent type for standardized mass production. It is the essential pre-processing equipment for steel structure manufacturing, power tower production and photovoltaic bracket factories.

2. Core Performance & Technical Specifications of Q35Y Series Ironworker

Our mainstream Q35Y series covers 6 complete models from Q35Y-16 to Q35Y-50 to match different processing thickness and tonnage demands.
  • Punching pressure range: 65 Ton – 250 Ton

  • Max shearing flat plate thickness: 16mm – 50mm (material tensile strength ≤450 N/mm²)

  • Max punching diameter: 25mm – 40mm

  • Standard max stroke length: 80mm for all models

  • Throat depth: 300mm to 600mm for wide plate processing

  • Main motor power: 4kW – 18kW

  • Net weight: 1600kg to 12800kg

    All models adopt integrated hydraulic manifold blocks, built-in overload pressure relief safety valves and stress-relief welded machine frames to maintain long-term stable machining accuracy.

3. 6 Key Competitive Advantages of Our Hydraulic Ironworker

  1. 6-in-1 Integrated Multi-Station Design, Save Workshop Space & Cost
    One single ironworker replaces 4 to 6 separate metalworking machines. It eliminates extra equipment investment and occupies only 40%–50% floor space compared with discrete punchers and shears, greatly lowering factory layout costs.
  2. Stable Hydraulic Driving System with Full Safety Protection
    Closed-loop hydraulic circuit provides adjustable, uniform cutting and punching force. The automatic overload pressure relief valve triggers instantly under overloading to protect the machine body and expensive alloy moulds, effectively extending tool service life.
  3. High-Rigidity Stress-Relief Welded Frame for Permanent Precision
    The whole machine is fabricated with thick steel plates and integral welding, then treated with high-temperature vibration aging to eliminate internal welding stress. No frame deformation occurs under continuous heavy-load operation, guaranteeing consistent dimensional tolerance for over 10 years.
  4. Optional CNC Intelligent Control for Mass Automated Production
    CNC touch screen model stores dozens of customized processing programs, equipped with motor-driven automatic positioning baffles to realize one-click batch machining. Manual basic version reduces procurement cost for small custom workshops.
  5. Quick-Change Four-Edge Alloy Moulds with Low Burr Output
    All punches and shear blades are made of high-hardness alloy steel with four reusable cutting edges. Mould replacement takes less than 30 seconds without auxiliary tools. Processed workpieces have smooth edges with minimal burrs to cut secondary polishing labor.
  6. Global Export Compatibility & Customizable OEM Service
    Support custom tonnage, machine color, extra bending station, brand logo and international working voltage (220V/380V). Products comply with industrial standards for Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and more than 70 export countries, with complete multi-language operation manuals and global spare parts supply channels.

4. Complete Industrial Application Scenarios

4.1 Steel Structure Construction Industry

Process connecting gussets, steel truss plates, prefabricated building frame components and base flanges via punching and plate shearing.

4.2 Power Transmission & Photovoltaic Support Manufacturing

Fabricate miter-cut angle steel cross arms for high-voltage towers, punched angle iron solar brackets and transformer base supporting parts.

4.3 Municipal & Bridge Traffic Engineering

Produce bridge stiffener plates, highway guardrail joint plates, overpass support connectors and thick structural brackets.

4.4 General Machinery & Storage Rack Production

Manufacture warehouse shelf uprights, elevator fittings, agricultural machinery brackets, solid bar blanks and small non-standard metal hardware.

4.5 Metal Cabinet & Guardrail Fabrication

Complete V-notching on flat bars and angle steel to form precise right-angle welding joints for equipment cabinets, safety fences and window frames.

5. Matching Mould & Die Configuration System

Full sets of interchangeable moulds are supplied for all machining stations, including:
  1. Round, oval and special-shaped punching punch & die sets

  2. Angle steel straight cut & 45° miter cutting shear blades

  3. Flat plate shearing mould blocks

  4. V-shape notching mould assembly for corner forming

  5. Channel steel, solid round & square bar cutting dies

  6. Custom special forming moulds for personalized production demands

    All moulds are wear-resistant and reversible, with standardized quick-lock installation structure.

6. Processed Workpiece Sample Showcase

Workpieces machined by hydraulic ironworkers cover all mainstream structural metal raw materials: Q235 carbon steel, galvanized steel, thin mild stainless steel, equal/unequal angle iron, U channel steel, flat bar and solid metal rods.
Typical finished samples include multi-hole connecting plates, mitered angle steel brackets, trimmed channel steel blanks, V-notched joint parts and ready-to-weld integrated support frames, all featuring precise hole positions and smooth cutting surfaces.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What raw materials can a hydraulic ironworker process?

A: It mainly processes carbon steel, galvanized steel and thin mild stainless steel, as well as all common structural profiles: flat bar, equal/unequal angle steel, U channel, solid round steel and square steel bar.

Q2: What is the difference between CNC ironworker and manual ironworker?

A: CNC ironworker adopts digital touch screen control and auto positioning baffles for high-volume standardized production. Manual ironworker uses foot pedals and physical buttons, with lower purchase cost and higher flexibility for small-batch customized parts.

Q3: Can I customize special moulds for unique processing requirements?

A: Yes. We provide OEM customized special-shaped punching and cutting moulds according to customers’ workpiece drawings to meet personalized production demands.

Q4: What after-sales support is provided for exported machines?

A: We offer a 12-month full machine warranty, free remote online technical training, global spare parts delivery channels and operation manuals in English, Russian and Spanish for overseas clients.
