S-56 COLLARING MACHINE FOR PRODUCING T-OUTLETS FOR BOTH STRAIGHT AND BENT TUBES
T-DRILL S-56 is a highly effective collaring machine for producing T-outlets for brazed and welded joints. The machine is designed for both straight and bent tubes. The S-56 produces quality collars up to 54 mm (O.D. 2 1/8”) with a round pilot hole and 60,3 mm (O.D. 2 1/4″) with an elliptical pilot hole. It is ideal for producing collars in steel tubes, but also suitable for all malleable materials (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper & copper-nickel).
The T-DRILL S-56 collaring process is fully automated and the drilling & trimming processes are optimized. The specially designed S-56 collaring heads enables three types of process:
- Drilling/Collaring/Trimming – Used for butt weld method where branch tube is put on top of collar.
- Elliptical pilot hole – Used for butt weld method. An elliptical pilot hole is done beforehand with laser, plasma, milling or with punching machine. Enables 1:1 collaring.
- Drilling/Collaring – Used for lap joint method where branch tube is put inside of the collar.
Being an Industry 4.0 ready machine utilizing the latest technology, the S-56 is very versatile and easily customized to fit specific customer needs. The machine is easy to program and use, featuring a user-friendly GUI Interface with a color touch panel, adjustable machining parameters, and fine-tuning of motion profiles. A wide range of feeding tables and automated systems are available for improved manifold production efficiency.
S-56 can also be integrated into flexible manufacturing systems:
S-56 ACCESSORIES
Manual Feed Table MFT
Adding a feed table to S-56 improves the manifold / collector production efficiency. The Manual Feed Table (MFT) enables fast pipe positioning for the operator.
S-56 APPLICATIONS
Stainless process pipes
Process piping in stainless steel frequently results in a need for multiple outlets in a manifold. There is no better way to manufacture such a manifold than the T-DRILL process. By eliminating two welded joints, the system minimizes costs and increases profit while offering improved quality.
The S-56 offers great advantages in the following industries:
- Food & Dairy industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Chemical industry
- Brewery industry
- Fire protection (sprinkler systems)
HVACR industry
In the HVAC industry, T-DRILL machines are typically used in the manufacture of tubular components found in air conditioning/ refrigeration, heat pumps, heat recovery and heat exchanger manufacturing. The S-56 is well suited for these applications and many more – offering the most reliable tube joints of top quality.
Automotive industry
T-DRILL’s reliable T-joining has a vital importance for automotive tube applications, because every vehicle is subject to severe vibrations. As T-DRILL’s extruded outlets are formed outside of the main run tube, it also minimizes the flow restrictions.
The S-56 is ideal for efficient fabrication of the following:
- Engine a/c systems
- Fuel rail and high pressure diesel components
- Exhaust cross-over applications
- Vapor recovery systems
- Battery cooling for electric vehicles
