Customized machines

T-DRILL offers flexible customized tube and pipe fabrication solutions for a vast variety of tubing needs. As a pioneer in the field, T-DRILL has the capability to create special machinery solutions to meet its customer’s unique manufacturing requirements and to increase their productivity in a highly effective way. 

If there are requirements by customers which cannot be fulfilled with T-DRILL’s standard industrial machines, special machines can be designed and developed according to the customers’ needs and requirements. Special machines can utilize already T-DRILL-proven technologies such as collaring, chipless cutting, flanging, or tube end forming. This will give all the benefits of T-DRILL methods also with the customized machines.

Special machines may also include readymade solutions: For example, workpiece handling by the robot.

Special machine projects are specified together with customers and T-DRILL will take full responsibility for customized machines including design, development, automation, manufacturing, assembly, Industry 4.0 readiness, remote connection, documentation, Factory, and Site Acceptance Tests installation, training, commissioning, and service agreements.

ADVANTAGES OF THE T-DRILL COLLARING METHOD:

• No T-fittings
• No costly inventories
• No tube cutting
• Only one brazed/welded joint instead of three
• Optimized flow-characteristics
• Smaller risk of leakage
• Minimized inspection cost
• Remarkable faster through-put times
• Applicable to almost all malleable materials including stainless steel, CuNi, aluminum alloys, and copper
• Small Carbon footprint

ADVANTAGES OF T-DRILL CHIPLESS CUTTING METHOD:

• Clean, Cost-effective, and accurate Chipless Cutting Technology (TCC)
• No material loss between cuts, no expensive saw blades needed, extraordinary high output
• Pull-apart method, the tubes are ready for mandrel bending without washing or brushing, which makes the system very productive

ADVANTAGES OF T-DRILL FLANGING METHOD:

• Lips and flanges are formed directly on the end of the tube – a system that saves typically 70% in both time and costs compared with traditional weld neck flange connections and completely eliminates the need for X-Ray inspection.
• After the T-DRILL flanging process, there’s no risk of welding or brazing fractures, the result is always precise and high quality.
