MiniDrill Machining Platform
MiniDrill is a unique machining platform designed to safely perform multiple machining operations on heat exchangers, boilers and similar thermal exchange equipment.
Designed with operator safety in mind, this system can drill, ream, bore and even re-machine serrations in steam drums quickly and safely. With a 80 mm (3.150”) travel, this tool is ideally suited for the majority of plant equipment.
The system is fully torque reacted with 2 clamping arms that are independent of one another and can accommodate most pitch configurations. Once locked into the tubes, the MiniDrill is extremely stable.
