Edwards 55-Ton Ironworker with Coper Notcher — IW55
Are you losing time switching between machines to punch, shear, notch, and bend steel in your shop?
What if one machine handled every fabrication operation without slowing your workflow between jobs?
Meet the Edwards 55-Ton Ironworker with Coper Notcher — IW55, a heavy-duty American-built ironworker for medium shops through full factory maintenance departments.
Available in single and three-phase configurations across 208V and 230V, the IW55 fits a range of shop power setups without giving up punch force or shear capacity.
When your ironworker handles every operation in one place, you move through fabrication with fewer steps and a steadier pace.
Edwards IW55 for Punch, Shear, Notch, Bend, and Cope Work
Four Workstations Keep Operations Moving
The IW55 runs four workstations — punch, flat bar shear, angle shear, and coper notcher — so you can move between operations without retooling the machine. Optimized workstation heights reduce fatigue and help you work at a steady pace through longer runs.
55-Ton Punch Capacity Handles Thick Mild Steel
The punch station delivers 55 tons of force with a 7-1/2 inch throat depth and 1-1/4 inch stroke. Vertical ram movement keeps pressure even through the cut, which reduces distortion and extends tooling life.
Factory-Installed Coper Notcher Expands Fabrication Range
The coper notcher comes installed at the factory and handles structural coping and notching work at a 39-1/2 inch work height. It adds fabrication capability without requiring a separate machine or additional floor space.
Electric Foot Pedal and LED Lighting Improve Shop Control
The electric foot pedal includes integrated jog control and is part of a multi-location E-Stop system that meets ANSI B11.5-1988(02) guarding standards. Bright LED lights improve visibility at each workstation so you can see your layout marks and work lines clearly.
Optional PowerLink Connects Hydraulic Tools Directly
PowerLink turns the IW55 into a power source for Edwards hydraulic tools, extending what the machine can do beyond its built-in stations. It is available as an optional upgrade on select configurations for shops that run hydraulic tooling alongside their ironworker work.
