The T-DRILL process is a patented method of producing outlets for branch connections directly from the run material. Pipe branching by T-DRILL method is also called collaring, mechanical tee forming or simply T-DRILL tees. The entire process from pilot hole milling to a complete, trimmed branch outlet can be performed on a single workstation in three work cycles; pilot hole milling, collaring and trimming of the collar.
The new, powerful T-DRILL T-65 SS is an ideal portable solution for making tee joints of O.D. 17 – 54 mm in main run tubes up to 300 mm in just a couple of minutes. While giving comparable quality to commercial tee fittings, the profit will increase since the T-65 SS eliminates cutting of pipe, two welded joints, and the fitting cost. If tube polishing is required at the welding points, the T-65 SS also reduces that, as well as any inspection costs. The branch pipe can be connected to a formed outlet either by orbital welding or by manual welding.
The main goal with the new T-65 SS was to make the collaring process more effortless for the user. To achieve this goal, the machine was designed with two handles; one for drilling through and the other one for pilot hole side movement. This minimizes the amount of force needed to drill through the steel. The pilot hole adjustment was also made easier, and the tool changing is simple and quick. With this model, you just tilt the machine to switch from one tool to another without at any point holding the weight of the machine with your hands. Because of this, the machine is not only efficient and easy but also ergonomic to use.
The T-65 SS is an excellent solution to be used both in construction and renovation projects, as well as in the demanding field conditions in maintenance, repair work, and the process industry.
