Process: Collaring
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:
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:
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:
HVAC 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:
T-DRILL collaring machine S-56 is one of the machines in our mutual Showroom – The Connected Pipeshop – in Germany. Book an appointment to see the machine in action.
FEED TABLES AFT & MFT
Adding a feed table to S-56 improves the manifold / collector production efficiency. With the Automatic Feed Table (AFT), the manifolds with multiple collars can be processed automatically. The Manual Feed Table (MFT) enables fast pipe positioning for the operator.
FLYING BRANCHING HEAD FBH
The movable S-56 unit in FBH provides the best use of the floor space as tube stays still during the collaring process saving more than 50% of the floor space compared to S-56 with MFT & AFT feed tables where tube is moving and S-56 stays still.
