METALPRO

METALPRO is a manufacturer of metal fabrication machinery and tooling, with a product line centered on hydraulic ironworkers and compatible punching dies, notcher stations, and press brake stations. The brand's ironworker models—MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS—are single-phase, 115V AC machines with two stations, hydraulic force ratings of 40, 45, and 50 tonf, and a 20 A current draw. These machines are used for punching, shearing, and notching structural steel, plate, and flat bar in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and small to mid-size production environments. The MP4000FS includes a shear station, while the MP4500FS and MP5000FS feature a punch station as standard. All models accept a range of tooling, including round and square punch and die sets in sizes such as 11/16 in, 23/32 in, 3/4 in, and 29/32 in, as well as the MP4120 add-on notcher station. The tooling is designed for compatibility across the 40-, 45-, and 50-ton ironworker platforms, allowing shops to standardize on a single tooling ecosystem. METALPRO equipment is typically specified by plant engineers and maintenance managers who need compact, single-phase machines that can operate on common shop power without requiring three-phase service. The 115V AC input and 20 A draw make these ironworkers suitable for facilities where high-voltage three-phase power is not available or practical. The two-station configuration supports simultaneous or sequential operations, reducing material handling time. The hydraulic force ratings—40, 45, and 50 tonf—cover a range of punching and shearing capacities, with the MP5000FS providing the highest force for thicker or harder materials. The MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS share tooling compatibility, so a shop can add capacity by moving up the model range without replacing its die inventory. The MP4120 notcher station expands the MP4000, MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers to include notching operations, which is useful for cutting corners, edges, and slots in sheet metal and plate. Punch and die sets are available in round and square profiles, with die sizes ranging from 11/16 in to 29/32 in and punch sizes up to 2 in. These tooling options support common hole sizes used in structural steel fabrication, including bolt holes, clearance holes, and square holes for carriage bolts or square-head fasteners. 3G Electric supplies METALPRO ironworkers, add-on stations, and punching dies as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The product listings include manufacturer part numbers, force ratings, station counts, electrical specifications, and tooling compatibility, so procurement specialists and maintenance engineers can match machines and dies to their existing setups. 3G Electric ships globally and provides quotation support for METALPRO equipment, including cross-referencing part numbers and confirming compatibility with specific ironworker models. For shops that already own METALPRO ironworkers, 3G Electric stocks replacement and additional punch and die sets, as well as the MP4120 notcher station, to extend the machine's capabilities without a full equipment replacement. The brand's focus on single-phase, 115V AC operation and cross-compatible tooling makes METALPRO ironworkers a practical choice for fabrication environments where power availability and tooling standardization are key considerations.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about METALPRO from 3G Electric.

What are the power requirements for METALPRO hydraulic ironworkers?

METALPRO hydraulic ironworkers, including the MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS, operate on 115V AC single-phase power with a 20 A current draw. This allows them to be used in shops that do not have three-phase service. The single-phase input is a defining characteristic of these models and should be confirmed against the available power supply before installation.

Which METALPRO ironworker models are compatible with the MP4120 add-on notcher station?

The MP4120 add-on notcher station is designed for use with METALPRO MP4000, MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers. It enables notching of sheet metal and plate on these machines. The MP4120 is an add-on accessory, so it requires one of the listed ironworker models as the base machine. Compatibility with other METALPRO models is not indicated.

What sizes of round and square punching dies are available for METALPRO ironworkers?

METALPRO offers round and square punch and die sets in several sizes. Examples include the MP8014 round die with an 11/16 in die size, the MP8015 round die with a 23/32 in punch size, the MP8066 square die for 3/4 in square holes, and the MP8071 square die for 29/32 in square holes. These dies are compatible with MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers rated at 40, 45, and 50 tons, respectively.

What is the difference between the METALPRO MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers?

The primary difference is hydraulic force: the MP4000FS is rated at 40 tonf, the MP4500FS at 45 tonf, and the MP5000FS at 50 tonf. All three are two-station, 115V AC single-phase machines with a 20 A draw. The MP4000FS includes a shear station, while the MP4500FS and MP5000FS include a punch station. Tooling compatibility is shared across the three models, so punch and die sets can be used on any of them.

Can METALPRO punching dies be used across different ironworker models?

Yes. METALPRO punch and die sets such as the MP8014, MP8015, MP8066, and MP8071 are designed for compatibility with the MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers. This cross-compatibility allows a shop to use the same tooling on 40-, 45-, and 50-ton machines. It also means that if a shop adds a larger ironworker, the existing die inventory can often be retained.

What types of metal fabrication tasks are METALPRO ironworkers used for?

METALPRO ironworkers are used for punching holes in steel plates and structural shapes, shearing flat bar and plate, and notching sheet metal. The two-station design supports operations such as punching and shearing on the same machine. With the MP4120 add-on notcher, the machines can also perform notching. Typical applications include structural steel fabrication, maintenance shops, and general metalworking where single-phase power is available.
