Technical Specifications

The TEC-150 collaring machine can be equipped with an NC-controlled automatic positioning system (APS). With this system, the pipe can be positioned to the desired position and angle. The system consists of rails and a pipe indexing unit.

With the pipe stationary, the machine can be moved longitudinally on rails. The job of the indexing unit is to rotate the tube when the collars need to be positioned at different angles to each other. The positioning system is easy to operate with the aid of a control controller.

NC-controlled Automatic Positioning System 6000

The T-DRILL NC-positioning system is part of the T-DRILL TEC-150 collaring machine. APS is used to position the required tube position and collar angle. Automatic starts are controlled from the machine's control panel and control controller.

Diameters in the range of 26.9–410 mm and min. 3 x D.C. and max. For 6000 mm lengths (When working with smaller diameters, please contact T-DRILL Sales team to provide I min. measurement.)

Positioning tolerances:
– length +/- 0.5 mm (machine); +/- 1.0mm (pipe)
– angle +/- 0.5º (machine); +/- 1.0º (pipe)

Longitudinal position and angle position can be seen from digital readout
