Heating- & Air Conditioning Industry

In the area of heating and air conditioning, you are confronted with a variety of tasks. You install connector flanges for ventilation and heating shafts, prepare interior cutouts to scale for ventilation grates, lock seams, and join sheet metal parts. With shears, slitting shears, seam lockers and joining presses from TRUMPF, you are always a step ahead.

Accurate inner cutouts

You need to insert a ventilation grille in a duct, so you prepare an inner contour. It is important for adjustments to be made accurately and for you to be able to finish the cutout quickly. The cuts need to be made without any deformation. For this task, we recommend our slitting shears. With our slitting shears, you can clip off the chip at any time and pull the machine out of the workpiece.

The clearly visible markings on the cutting head make precise reinsertion possible. Slitting shears can also be confronted with multiple sheet thicknesses for short times. For instance, when you are cutting spiral ducts as the seams can sometimes be up to four sheets thicknesses.

 

High curve and radial flexibility

You often need to reduce a sheet metal part with a large diameter to a smaller diameter. For instance, when making funnel shapes. With our shears, you always have a clear view of the cut line, and you can work accurately, even above your head. For sheet metal work to produce pipe segments, these advantages are particularly noticeable.

Flat trimming on walls and ceilings

With the TruTool S 114 trimming shears, you can cut projecting pipe, straight sheet metal and even C, L or U profiles. This is possible even when the projections are in a corner or in hard to reach areas. The interference contour is only 30 mm, and even larger projections can be cut off in a single step.

Use in straight and curved ducts

Closing of a Pittsburgh seam

Besides channels, you can also handle piping systems in air conditioning and ventilation systems. The locking of Pittsburgh seams is often necessary in corners. The parts needed for this must often be prepared in advance by machine, and then assembled on site.

The closing of the seams uses a self-powered and nearly silent rolling glide process, without any force applied at all. Automatic adaptation to sheet thickness and a self-powered drive gives you a consistent seam.

Don't lose time with Li-Ion batteries

Connector flanges for ventilation and heating channels can also be prepared at the construction site using our lithium-ion battery tools. These batteries dispense power consistently and have no memory effect.

Joining is probably the simplest and most cost-effective way to connect two metal parts: no screws or rivets, no preparation or finishing work, no emissions. In channel constructions, where all-around processing is often required, the tilting arm variant is a good choice.
