The Scotchman DO-150/240-24M is a versatile, multi-purpose, shearing, punching and forming machine
engineered for trouble-free operation. The design of the machine combines simplicity of operation with
smooth, full stroke control. The ability of the operators to control the machine’s direction of movement
at any point in the stroke (stop, jog or reverse) gives the Scotchman Ironworker a tremendous advantage
over mechanical Ironworkers. There is no chance of the Scotchman being "accidentally tripped".
The hydraulic system operates at a maximum pressure of 3,500 PSI (241 BAR) in the punch and tooling
station and 3,500 PSI (241 BAR) in the shear and notch position and is protected from overload by a
relief valve. The Scotchman DO-150/240-24M is designed as a dual operator Ironworker. On this model,
the punch and tooling stations operate independently of the shear and notcher stations.
This machine is designed for the user that wants the advantage of doubling production by having two
operators using the same machine at the same time. Scotchman also offers many optional tools that are
adaptable to this model. Some of the optional tools available are: a channel shear, pipe notcher, 12 & 24
inch brake attachments, a picket tool and a variety of special tools. If you have a special application,
please contact your dealer or the factory.
