Tri Tool’s next generation clamshell lathe, the RBL-G2 was designed with safety in mind
Safety
is a core value at Tri Tool, and a primary goal of Tri Tool’s engineers when
tackling both design and redesign projects.
“We wanted to eliminate as many pinch points on the new RBL-G2 as
possible. Our engineering team developed an innovative and patent-pending tool
block design that allows for the tripper mechanism to remain in a fixed and
low-profile location adjacent to the tapered drive housings. The result is
significantly fewer pinch points throughout the entire usable range of the
machine”, stated Justin Tripp, P.E., Manager of Engineering.
In
addition to addressing safety, Tri Tool examined every aspect of the clamshell
lathe design and improved performance, speed and ease of use while maintaining
the power and durability their customers have come to expect. The newly
re-designed RBL-G2 will now sever and bevel up to three times faster with a new
high speed, in-line and right angle motor options in a single drive housing
which adds flexibility and reduces machining time without compromising power.
“We’ve
also simplified the tool bit setup which should save the operator time and
reduce the amount of training needed to operate the machine,” stated Ash
Ferozepurwalla, P.E., Lead Engineer. The
new, economical high speed carbide sever kit allows for sequential sever and
bevel operations with minimal setup and without having to reposition the
clamshell lathe.
