The S-54 Automatic Collaring Machine can meet most of the requirements that exist on HVAC and Automotive applications. T-DRILL has been manufacturing collaring machines for over 30 years and it is the worldwide industry standard for tube branching.
The S-54 is able to provide quality collars up 2⅛” in copper, aluminum, steel, stainless steel and other malleable materials.
Many attachments and automated systems are available for tube positioning. It is possible to start with the stand-alone S-54 and later add tube feeding equipment for more efficient production. A Manual or an Automatic Feed Table are available as well as the fully automated S-54 TBC (Tube Collaring System.)
Advantages of T-Drill method
- Production cost reductions up to 80%
- No costly inventories
- Less wasted material
- Remarkably faster through-put times
- Improved product strength, flow and brazing characteristics
- Only one brazed joint instead of three
