METALPRO

METALPRO is a brand specializing in tooling and accessories for hydraulic ironworkers, with a product line centered on punching dies, shear back stops, and punch station plates. The brand's catalog is designed for compatibility with ironworker models in the 40-ton, 45-ton, and 50-ton range, specifically the MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS series. METALPRO products are manufactured to standard industrial tolerances and are intended for use in metal fabrication environments where repetitive punching, shearing, and forming operations are performed. The product range includes round, square, and oblong punch and die sets, as well as multi-die sets that bundle multiple punch sizes into a single assembly. Die sizes span from 9/16 in to 1 in for round punches, with square and oblong configurations available in dimensions such as 31/32 in, 11/16 in, and 9/16 x 1-1/8 in. Each punch and die set is matched to specific ironworker tonnage ratings and machine models, ensuring dimensional compatibility and proper alignment during operation. The shear back stop accessory (model MPSBS) provides a mechanical stop for positioning material during shearing, with a 12 in overall length, 6 in width, and 48 in height, designed to mount onto ironworker shear tables. The punch station plate (model MP45PSP) serves as a mounting interface for punch tooling, compatible with the same ironworker series. METALPRO does not publish IP ratings or material certifications on its standard product listings; the tooling is constructed from tool steel suitable for punching mild steel and other common fabrication materials. 3G Electric stocks 64 SKUs of METALPRO products, including individual punch and die sets, multi-die kits, and accessory plates. Each SKU is accompanied by a datasheet that lists the compatible ironworker model, die shape, die size, and manufacturer part number. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global shipment, including export documentation and consolidated freight options. For procurement specialists and plant engineers, METALPRO tooling offers a standardized interface for ironworker operations, reducing setup time when switching between punch shapes or sizes. The brand does not claim proprietary quick-change mechanisms or advanced coatings; its value lies in direct replacement compatibility with MP-series ironworkers and availability of common die geometries from a single supplier.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about METALPRO from 3G Electric.

What ironworker models are METALPRO punching dies compatible with?

METALPRO punching dies are designed for use with hydraulic ironworkers in the 40-ton, 45-ton, and 50-ton range, specifically the MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS models. Each die set is labeled with the compatible machine series, and the die dimensions are matched to the machine's punch holder and stripper assembly. Always verify the machine model and tonnage against the product's compatible ironworker size attribute before ordering.

What shapes and sizes are available in METALPRO punch and die sets?

METALPRO offers round, square, and oblong punch and die sets. Round die sizes range from 9/16 in to 1 in. Square dies are available in 31/32 in and 11/16 in sizes. Oblong sets produce a 2-inch oblong shape with a 9/16 x 1-1/8 in punch and die. Multi-die sets bundle multiple round sizes, such as the MP4144 which includes eight round punches from 25/32 in to 1 in. Each set is specified by die shape and size in the product listing.

Does METALPRO offer multi-die sets for ironworkers?

Yes, METALPRO produces multi-die sets such as the MP4144, which includes eight round punch dies in sizes 25/32 in, 27/32 in, 29/32 in, 31/32 in, 13/16 in, 15/16 in, 7/8 in, and 1 in. These sets are designed for use with MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS ironworkers. The multi-die configuration allows operators to switch between common punch sizes without changing the entire tooling assembly, reducing downtime during batch runs.

What is the METALPRO MPSBS shear back stop used for?

The METALPRO MPSBS is a shear back stop accessory for ironworkers. It provides a fixed mechanical stop for positioning material during shearing operations. The unit has overall dimensions of 12 in length, 6 in width, and 48 in height. It mounts onto the shear table of compatible ironworkers and helps maintain consistent cut lengths by preventing material overtravel. It is classified under cutting gauges and backstops.

How does the METALPRO MP45PSP punch station plate function?

The METALPRO MP45PSP is a punch station plate designed for hydraulic ironworkers in the 40-ton to 50-ton range. It serves as a mounting interface between the ironworker's punch station and the punch tooling. The plate provides a stable base for attaching punch and die sets, ensuring alignment during operation. It is compatible with MP4000FS, MP4500FS, and MP5000FS models and is intended for use with METALPRO punch dies.

What documentation does 3G Electric provide for METALPRO products?

3G Electric provides a datasheet for each METALPRO SKU, which includes the manufacturer part number, compatible ironworker model, die shape, die size, and tonnage range. The datasheet also lists physical dimensions where applicable, such as overall length and width for accessories. No material certifications or test reports are included by default; buyers should contact 3G Electric for additional technical documentation if required.
