T-DRILL SEC-115 Automatic Collaring Machine

A production approach for multiple manifold outlets

SEC-115 is worth reviewing when one manifold contains several collar diameters and repeated outlet positions. Its tool changer addresses the need to select different collaring tools within a production sequence. For a workshop comparing an automatic cell, the number of outlet sizes and the component layout are important starting points.

• List every outlet diameter and its position along the tube.
• Show outlets at different angular positions on the component drawing.
• Separate standard repeat components from occasional one-off parts.

What the automatic collaring cycle includes

The machine combines pilot-hole milling, collar forming and trimming for collars intended to be welded. Programmed movement locates the operations along the tube; rotation is used when the outlet layout requires it. The tool changer supports five different collaring tools.

A complete production review also needs to cover tube feeding and removal. Automatic machining does not, by itself, define how raw tubes will enter the cell or how finished manifolds will be handled.

Review the tool set against the whole component family

Count the different collar sizes across the parts you intend to produce, rather than looking only at one sample manifold. Identify common materials, wall thicknesses and joint preparations. This helps establish whether one proposed tool set covers the intended family or whether changes are needed between batches.

Use the capacity chart for the selected material. The brochure range should not be read as approval for every branch/run-tube and thickness combination.

Prepare realistic output and changeover requirements

For a Malaysian factory enquiry, state the intended output, batch sizes and number of product changes during a normal shift. Include the range of tube lengths and the loading method available at the workstation.

These details let a quotation request address the production sequence as a whole. If cycle time is important, request an application-specific review using the actual drawing rather than treating a brochure demonstration as a guaranteed rate for another component.

Discuss the SEC-115 package with Logamweld

Send the manifold drawings and product-family information through your preferred Logamweld contact channel. Add the Malaysian delivery location, available factory space and actual power supply.

Ask the Shah Alam team to confirm the proposed machine, tool set and feeding/handling scope for the quotation. Include any requested installation, training or acceptance requirements in the enquiry so those items can be addressed explicitly.
