S-56 Collaring Machine for producing T-outlets on 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:

1. Drilling/Collaring/Trimming – Used for butt weld method where branch tube is put on top of collar.
2. 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.
3. 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.
