• Anyone who manages a machine shop understands the
  importance of using only topflight metal
  fabrication equipment to create precision parts.
  A big part of the process of maintaining this
  type of equipment is ensuring that the machine is
  outfitted with good-condition consumables and
  replacement parts. Here well take a closer look
  at the parts commonly used for metal fabrication
  equipment.

• An ironworker is a type of metal fabrication
  machine that utilizes hydraulic systems to notch,
  punch, and shear materials. (Note The term
  ironworker is also used to denote personnel in
  the ironworking industry.)
• The punch capacity of an ironworker depends on
  the particular model. A high-end ironworker can
  have a punch capacity of up to 140 tons.
• Ironworkers typically feature a number of
  independent workstations, and for that reason
  they use a wide range of consumables.

• Punches Dies These allow the machine to
  create holes of precise dimensions. Available in
  a range of shapes and sizes.
• Punch attachments These expand punching
  capacity.
• Channel die block Used in place of a standard
  die block, these provide a 50-ton punch capacity.

5

• Urethane hold-downs Clamp and unclamp materials
  automatically increase blade lifespan.
• Coper notchers Enhance user control of the
  material.
• Shear blades (w/ low rake angle) Prevent
  distortion of parts during fabrication process.

6

• Rear hinge pins Used in various applications on
  ironworkers.
• Clevis pin bushing Enables attachment to the
  rod and cap ends of the hydraulic cylinder.
• Urethane spacers Have greater load-bearing
  capacity and tolerance of oils than rubber
  spacers can provide.

7

• Taper pins Fasteners designed so that one end
  has a significantly larger diameter than the
  opposite end.
• Flat-head socket cap screws Inserted flush with
  the surface to allow different parts or sections
  to be mounted on top of another.
• Grade 8 hex nuts These six-sided nuts have high
  tensile strength.

8

• Annular cutters Enable fast, accurate hole core
  drilling.
• Grinder belts Their abrasive surface is used to
  shape parts.
• Lubricants cutting oils Prevent rust and keep
  materials at stable temperatures.
• Bandsaw Coldsaw blades and more!

• You can find these types of parts in a wide
  variety of machinesnot just ironworkers.
• Drill presses, shears, mills, grinders, lathes,
  and notchersall of these machines will go
  through consumables and replacement parts on a
  regular basis.
• Replacing these parts when needed is essential to
  ensure that fabricated materials meet
  quality-control guidelines.
