UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK 2018, NEC
9th – 11th October 2018
Stand no. B643
The TRUMPF brand is synonymous with quality and durability. The company designs and manufactures power tools and cordless-power tools that have been specifically developed for construction, aerospace, fabrication, engineering, building envelope, roofing, HVAC and steel products. From cutting and joining to edge preparation, these portable machines simplify day-to-day work on construction sites or in workshops to increase competitiveness by improving quality, reducing costs and speeding up processing time.
Clean cut composite
Centre-stage at UK Construction Week 2018 is a new nibbler that is the first of its kind worldwide. The TRUMPF TruTool FCN 250 is designed to cut various fibre composite materials up to 2.5mm thick. Unlike saws, milling cutters and angle grinders that have been traditionally used to cut this type of material, the TRUMPF nibblers generate minimal dust so personal protective equipment is no longer essential. And by comparison with other slitting processes, the TruTool’s per-metre costs are as much as 50% lower.
18V Li-ion technology
Also highlighted at the show will be TRUMPF’s new, TruTool high-performing cordless power tools. These models benefit from 18V Li-ion technology, brushless, no maintenance motors and a battery-optimised aluminium gear head which, in combination with other new features, provide up to 60% longer run time after each full charge.
A specialist in metal processing for nearly a century, TRUMPF has combined its long-term experience with the latest technology to create this new range of power tools that provides superior operational and economic performance. Alongside its conventional 10.8V products, the new 18V models give fabricators, builders and HVAC engineers an extended choice that allows, for example, the cordless cutting of sheets from 0.5mm to 2.5mm.
The TruTool 18V range provides a selection of tools for welding and paint preparation, cutting and fastening. The C200 and C250 slitting shears with chip clipper are perfect for interior cuts, notching and curves and the S250 shear provides precise and burr-free cutting, even in the upside-down position. For nibbling and profile nibbling, the N200 and PN 200 both provide easy cutting without distortion, emission or sparks.
Seam lockers for closing Pittsburgh seams on straight or curved ducts are available for the first time as battery-powered tools within this range which also includes the TF350 power fastener for form-fitting, corrosion-resistant joints used in the HVAC sector in place of rivets or screws.
The latest additions to this 18V range are three TruTool drill drivers; the TruTool DD 1813 drill driver, the TruTool HD 1813 hammer drill and the TruTool ID 1861 impact driver. All achieve high speeds despite their low weight and small size and are equipped with an LED light to illuminate the work area.
