UNIVERSAL KBL UNIVERSAL IRONWORKER – METAL FABRICATION PUNCH & SHEAR Description Up for auction is a Universal KBL Ironworker / Steelworker, a heavy-duty multi-function metal fabrication machine designed for punching, shearing and processing a variety of steel and metal stock. Universal ironworkers are a staple machine in welding shops, fabrication shops, structural steel operations, equipment repair facilities, agricultural repair shops and industrial maintenance operations. These machines combine multiple metalworking functions into one machine, allowing operators to quickly punch holes and cut various types of steel without moving material between multiple pieces of equipment. The machine is identified as UNIVERSAL with model designation KBL. The exact model/serial information beyond the visible identification is not confirmed, so buyers should review the identification plate and photographs carefully. Based on the configuration, this machine is intended for heavy-duty steel fabrication and metalworking applications, with the potential to perform operations such as punching, shearing and cutting of structural steel and other metal stock. Universal ironworkers commonly incorporate multiple work stations, including punch, flat-bar shear, angle/bar shear and notching/coping functions depending on the particular configuration. Whether you're looking to outfit a fabrication shop, expand an existing welding operation, add capability to an agricultural repair shop, or source an older industrial machine for restoration and continued use, this is an interesting piece of heavy-duty shop equipment. Key Specifications Manufacturer/Brand: Universal Model: KBL Equipment Type: Universal Ironworker / Steelworker Application: Metal fabrication and structural steel processing Machine Functions: Punching / shearing / metal cutting; exact station configuration to be verified Drive System: Buyer to verify Electrical Requirements: Buyer to verify Punch Capacity: Buyer to verify Shear Capacity: Buyer to verify Throat Depth: Buyer to verify Overall Dimensions: Buyer to verify Weight: Buyer to verify Exact machine specifications and capacities have not been independently verified. Buyers should inspect the machine's identification plate, tooling and configuration before bidding. Typical Ironworker Functions Universal ironworkers are designed to combine several metalworking operations into one machine. Depending on the machine's exact configuration and installed tooling, functions can include: Punching Used to punch clean, repeatable holes in: Flat steel Plate Angle iron Channel Structural members Other steel shapes The punch station uses interchangeable punches and dies, allowing the machine to accommodate different hole sizes and material thicknesses. Flat-Bar Shearing Designed to cut flat steel stock to length without requiring a saw or plasma cutter. Angle / Bar Shearing Ironworkers commonly have tooling for cutting: Angle iron Round bar Square bar Structural shapes Channel Tee sections The exact sizes this particular machine can process should be verified before bidding. Notching / Coping Depending on the tooling installed on this machine, an ironworker can also be used for notching or coping steel. Notching is particularly useful when fabricating brackets, frames, structural connections and other welded assemblies. Typical Applications This type of machine can be particularly useful in: Welding shops Steel fabrication shops Structural steel fabrication Agricultural repair shops Farm machinery repair Equipment manufacturing Trailer fabrication Truck repair Heavy equipment repair Industrial maintenance Construction Contractor shops Custom fabrication Welding schools and training facilities Maintenance departments General machine shops A universal ironworker is particularly valuable in a shop environment because several common fabrication operations can be performed on a single machine rather than requiring separate shears, punches and cutting equipment.
