Place the length of angle iron (or flat bar) on the conveyor (roller table).

Move the bar stock to the "Start" position and activate the Clamp.

Select the appropriate program on the operator console for the type of parts desired.

Press the "Start" key to initiate the program.

The Shuttle Feed (or Positioner) will feed the metal bar forward by the correct distance required to align the first hole properly with the punch "head".

The Shuttle Feed (or Positioner) will then activate the ironworker (or single-end punch) and punch the first hole, then continue to feed forward and punch the metal bar until all the holes have been punched.

When finished, the metal bar can be moved to a saw or shear for cutting.

To punch a set of holes on the opposite flange of the angle iron, rotate the angle iron 180° and place it back on the conveyor for a second pass.  A "mirror" program may be used to match the first set of holes. 

The sawing (or shearing) operation can also be automated in the same way as the punching operation.

Place the length of bar stock on the conveyor and bring it to the "Start" position and activate the Clamp.

Then select and activate a cutting program.

The Shuttle Feed (or Positioner) will move the metal bar forward the correct distance programmed and activate the saw (or shear) to accurately cut the part.

The program will continue to cycle until all the programmed parts have been cut.
