- Mechanical Stripper Attachment- keeps material flat through the punching process, eliminating
distortion. The shorter required stroke gives you a faster punching cycle. - Automatic Urethane Hold-downs- clamps and releases material automatically with each stroke. Part movement is eliminated by clamping the part throughout the entire shearing cycle.
- Visibility- a direct line of sight over the hold down bar allows the operator to easily and accurately line up cuts to the shear blades.
- Flat Bar Shear- the low rake angle shear design results in flatter and higher quality sheared parts. Shear blades have four usable edges giving you a longer life and less expensive blades.
- Angle Shear- the floating upper blade seats in the center of the angle prior to cutting minimizing

ATTACHMENTS
BENDING ATTACHMENTS
The bending attachments are designed to increase productivity on the punch end of the machine. Bending attachments come in 18″,24″,36″ versions and a 24″ Press Brake tool holder that are mounted parallel to the beam allowing you unlimited throat depth. All bending attachments include 4-way bending dies with openings of 7/8”, 1-1/8”, 1-1/2” and 2”.
CHANNEL PROCESSING ATTACHMENTS
On the punch end of the machine we offer an adjustable Channel Shear capable of shearing 2”-8” standard channel. We also offer a Channel Die Block which replaces the standard die block and is designed to punch a hole in the leg or web of channel.
Channel Shear Kits are size specific channel shear blades and a hold down block that replace the standard angle knives and angle block and allows you to shear channel without slug loss in the angle section of the machine.
OVERSIZE PUNCHING ATTACHMENTS
Oversize Attachments mount in place of standard punch attachment and are designed to punch a 50-ton maximum hole. Heavy Duty attachments and urethane stripping options for attachments 2-3/4” and larger are available upon request.
QUICKSET GAUGING TABLES
The quickset gauging table option is a productivity tool for the punch end. The gauging table mounts around the die block and uses finger stops to repeat a series of punched holes in flat bar or angle. The attachment comes with a table and flat bar gauge with measuring rules for easy hole location layout. A 5’ or 10’ extension can be added to the left or right side of the base table for longer part processing.
SHEARING BACKGAUGES
The backgauge option is a productivity tool for the shearing section. The backgauge mounts on the drop side of the machine and uses a compression sleeve for infinite, easy adjustment to gauge cut lengths in the angle, flat bar and round bar shearing stations. Electronic versions of this backgauge are available which automatically cycles the machine every time material makes contact with the backgauge probe. A support leg is included with the 9’ and 12’ versions.
ROLLER FEED TABLES
The roller feed tables come in 5’ lengths and can be bolted together to make longer sections for fast, easy feeding of plate or angle. Includes 20” wide rollers for flat bar and 6” rollers in the angle section. Adjustable to accommodate floor height and machine type.
PIPE NOTCHING ATTACHMENTS
The pipe notching attachments mount easily on the platen table in place of the punch die block. This is a single notch system. To notch both sides of the pipe you must rotate the pipe and realign with the notching die for the second notch.
The pipe notching attachment is made up of three separate pieces, the pipe notching die holder, the pipe notching die and the pipe notching striker.
- The pipe notching die holder is a universal die holder that bolts to the platen table and can accept 3/4” through 2” Schedule 40 Pipe Notching Dies
- The pipe notching dies are spring return die sets that mount in the pipe notching die holder. Standard sizes of pipe notching dies are 3/4”, 1”, 1-1/4”, 1-1/2” and 2” Schedule 40. Other sizes of pipe and tube notching dies are available upon request but may require a different die holder.
- The pipe notching striker is an extended flat bottom punch used in your standard stripper assembly to press down the pipe notching die.
Benefits of Piranha Hydraulic Ironworkers over Scotchman Hydraulic Ironworkers (140 Ton Model P-140 Vs DO-150/240-24M)
When it comes to industrial manufacturing, hydraulic ironworkers are incredibly valuable tools for cutting and punching metal. When considering the two leading brands on the market - Piranha and Scotchman - there are numerous advantages that make Piranha hydraulic ironworkers stand out, particularly in their 140 ton model (P-140) versus the Scotchman DO-150/240-24M model.
Increased Speed & Productivity
Piranha hydraulic ironworkers offer greater speed and productivity than most Scotchman models. With faster cutting speeds and a quick release shear blade clamping system, operators can complete more jobs in less time while reducing downtime between jobs. This allows them to produce more parts in a shorter amount of time, resulting in improved output at lower costs.
Better Accuracy & Control
Piranha hydraulic ironworkers provide superior accuracy and control when performing tasks such as curved or beveled cuts, contour punching and forming operations. This makes them ideal for jobs requiring precise cuts or intricate shapes, as it eliminates the need for additional machining or costly adjustments afterwards.
More Durable Materials & Components
Piranha hydraulic ironworker frames are made from heavy-duty steel plates that are more durable than those used on most Scotchman models. The higher tensile strength of these materials ensures they will perform consistently under high stress applications while maintaining their shape over extended periods of use. Additionally, their components feature tough alloy steel gears which are resistant to wear and tear; improving longevity even further.
For most industrial applications, Piranha hydraulic ironworkers offer a superior performance advantage over traditional Scotchman models such as the 140 ton P-140 or DO-150/240-24M model. Not only do they provide greater speed, accuracy and durability but they also reduce operational costs due to improved productivity and lower maintenance requirements.
