The Baileigh Industrial 1007789 hydraulic ironworker, specifically the SW-501 model, is a remarkable multitasking machine. You might think punching, shearing, and notching require three separate machines, but with the SW-501, you can perform all these tasks with just one! This compact yet powerful machine is built to serve your shop for decades. Its pure vertical movement is a game-changer. It eliminates deformation and guarantees precise results every time. Unlike many competing ironworkers that use less efficient pivot mechanisms, the SW-501 delivers cleaner and faster cuts. The shearing design with vertical hydraulic force also helps reduce material waste. Baileigh's ironworkers are known for their incredibly fast tooling changes, thanks to the swing-away stripper on the punch station. This unit comes with many standard features that other manufacturers charge extra for, such as punch and die sets and large working tables. The tall and compact SW-501 saves valuable space in your shop and operates quietly, unlike some noisy ironworker machines on the market. It runs on 220-volt single-phase power, making it suitable for almost any shop or job site. With 50 tons of vertical pressure at each of its 5 integrated stations, it can handle various tasks. The 5 workstations perform different functions: punching, flat bar shearing, angle shearing, bar shearing, and rectangle notching. The movement of this hydraulic ironworker executes clean cuts in seconds, prevents deformed edges, and reduces waste. Material stops and multipositional backgauge simplify production runs. The large 2-piece tables with meter guides can handle many shapes and profiles. The adjustable stroke control, with downward and upward stroke knobs, can limit machine movement and cut production costs. The jog dial helps you align tooling for safe and easy set-ups. The material hold-down with a knurled handle allows you to quickly fine-tune and fit a given profile. The punching station includes a T-slot base, and 7 sets of punches and dies can handle a wide range of projects. The patented swing-away stripper makes tooling changes more efficient. The welded steel plate framework keeps the machine rigid and minimizes flex. Baileigh also backs all ironworkers with a 1-year parts warranty.
Using the Baileigh Industrial SW-501 hydraulic ironworker is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's connected to a 220-volt single - phase power source, which is suitable for most shops and job sites. Then, depending on the task you want to perform - whether it's punching, shearing, or notching - select the appropriate workstation. For punching, use the punch and die sets. The jog dial can help you align the tooling easily and safely. If you need to adjust the stroke of the machine, use the downward and upward stroke knobs on the adjustable stroke control. This can also help reduce production costs. When shearing, the vertical hydraulic force ensures clean cuts and less material waste. The material stops and multipositional backgauge will simplify your production runs. For handling different shapes and profiles, use the large 2 - piece tables with meter guides. There are a few things to keep in mind. Always wear appropriate safety gear, like gloves and safety glasses. Don't overload the machine beyond its specified capacity, such as the punching pressure of 50 tons. For maintenance, regularly check the welded steel plate framework for any signs of flex or damage. Keep the machine clean and lubricate the moving parts as recommended. If you need to change the tooling, use the swing - away stripper on the punch station for a quick and efficient change. If you encounter any problems, Baileigh offers a 1 - year parts warranty to support you.
