Pilot hole milling and collaring are easily controlled by an operation panel along with automatic lubrication for each step of the process. The standard branch programs can be loaded from machine memory. The operator can also create custom collaring programs or modify them from the standard programs.
A balancer makes the milling unit (EC) very easy to handle. For increased safety, sensors verify the collaring head is correctly installed before starting the fully automatic collar extrusion. After the quick and accurate trimming process, the branch pipe can be connected to a formed outlet either by orbital or manual welding.
T-DRILL TEC-220 is an Industry 4.0 ready machine with many possibilities. The sturdy, ergonomically designed machine is equipped with many safety features that make the TEC-220 safe and easy to operate even in the heaviest applications. The delivery package also includes a convenient Tool Table.
