Custom Channel Blades

The Spartan IW66D is a dual cylinder ironworker with a maximum capacity of 66 tons. Within the power cavity, the machine is equipped with round and square bar blades with an option to shear up to 5” channel. Below are 3” and 4” channel shear blades along with the stripper plate used to shear 1/4” channel. These blades are interchangeable with the round and square bar blades that come with the machine. The dual cylinder capability allows the customer to use these blades while punching at the same time. Custom blades are our specialty, let’s see what custom blades we can manufacture for you!

Mandrel Punch

Click to Enlarge
With help from the customer, our engineers designed this mandrel set-up for the Geka Hydracrop 55A Ironworker. This custom designed attachment allows the customer to quickly and easily punch four oblong holes in 2" schedule 40 pipe. By adding a location spring, the pipe can easily be rotated at 90° for accurate punching. Prior to this design, the customer was milling each hole individually; a costly operation requiring multiple touches from the operator. This solution allowed the customer to punch four holes in less than one minute, increasing throughput and dramatically reducing cost per piece. Reach our engineering team at 800-451-4342 to start designing your custom application.
