Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of Ironworkers?

Ironworkers are generally categorized as single operator or dual operator machines. Single operator models handle one task station at a time, while dual operator ironworkers allow two people to work simultaneously on different stations for higher throughput. Piranha also offers single end punch models like the SEPP series for dedicated punching-only applications.
