Seam Locker and Power Fastener for the HVAC-R industry

Tags:

What are the best power tools for your job in the HVAC-R industry?

The seam lockers are comfortable to use, with low noise and vibration, and can be ready for use in just a few steps. Additionally, they are mobile, allowing for use directly at the assembly point, even on mounted ducts. Whether you need to prepare accurate interior cut-outs on ventilation ducts or lock highly long Pittsburgh seams – with the shears, slitting shears, and seam lockers from TRUMPF, you can complete these tasks quickly and to a consistently high-quality level. Our power fasteners enable you to attach connection flanges for ventilation and heating ducts and produce straightforward, fatigue-resistant sheet metal connections without the use of consumables – a clear competitive advantage over other methods. The durable battery machines also enable our customers to move around the construction site as they wish and you can use the Trumpf Power Tools directly at the assembly point, even on mounted ducts.

The perfect tool to close a Pittsburgh lock seam

TRUMPF’s seam lockers are designed for continuous use, allowing you to lock straight and curved ducts. The power tools automatically adjust to the sheet thickness, for uniform seaming results.

The TruTool F 300 is suitable for flange heights from 9 mm – 13 mm and for sheet thicknesses range from 0.75 mm – 1.25 mm mild steel. Whilst the TruTool F 301 is suitable for flange heights from 8 mm – 11 mm and for sheet thicknesses from 0.45 mm – 1 mm mild steel.

The TruTool F 140 seam locker is ideal for mild steel and stainless steel and locks large straight and curved ducts. Suitable for flange heights from 8 mm – 12 mm and for sheet thicknesses from 0.6 mm – 1.4 mm mild steel and 0.6mm stainless steel. The machine automatically adjusts to the sheet thickness, for uniform seaming results and high performance on stainless steel applications. This tool might be your first choice for processing Pittsburgh seam lock ducting in stainless steel.

The perfect tool to join the flanges on the ducting

The TRUMPF’s power fastener, the TruTool TF350 uses a unique cold-forming technology to punch a small dimple into both sheets and immediately you have an astonishingly stable, long-lasting connection. No screws, no rivets, no emissions, no preparation, or clean-up work which makes this tool ideal for special applications such as all-around joining in duct construction. This machine is extremely versatile and can be ordered with a fixed mounted punch and die for plate joining or the flexible tilting arm that allows you to open the upper tool with ease, which is ideal for joining the flanges on your ducting. This tool is incredibly user-friendly and offers a number of advantages, such as form-fitting, corrosion-resistant joining, replacing connecting fasteners like rivets and screws, an incredibly fast process, minimal setup time, and the ability to join different materials, as well as coated and uncoated workpieces. Furthermore, it features a rapid stroke rate of up to two joining points per second and a high tool life with correspondingly high efficiency. This tool is ideal for both construction sites and assembly lines.
