TigerStop adds semiautomated positioning system for ironworker punch station

TigerStop has developed a semiautomatic integration kit for the Piranha ironworker using its patented standard interconnect kit. The kit functions as a safety interconnect, preventing the ironworker from cycling while the positioning system is in motion and partially automating the punching or shearing process.

The kit moves the positioning system to the correct dimension within a cut list without the operator having to press start, but the operator still is able to reposition parts before the next punching or shearing cycle begins.
