Applications in steel construction
The tube notching tool is a fourfold special fixture used to notch tube ends for 90-degree connections on the punching machine. The notched contour conforms to the mating tube, so that the tubes can subsequently be welded cleanly. A lug on the tool additionally creates a zinc drainage opening, important on hot-dip galvanized structures.
Typical applications
- Notching tube ends for 90-degree tube connections before welding
- Producing a zinc drainage opening on hot-dip galvanized tube structures
- Machining tubes for railings, frames and tube structures
- Series machining of identical tube connections via the fourfold fixture
Which businesses use it
Used in steel construction, metalworking and locksmithing, for example in railing and tube structure fabrication, including on hot-dip galvanized components.
Frequently asked questions
What is the lug for the zinc drainage opening for?
On hot-dip galvanized structures, excess zinc must be able to drain out of the hollow section. The lug of the tool creates an additional opening at the notched tube end through which the zinc escapes. The tool is also available in a version without a lug.
Why notch tubes instead of just cutting them to length?
For a clean 90-degree connection, the tube end must conform to the curvature of the mating tube. Notching creates this contour, so that the tubes sit against each other with a minimal gap and can be welded well.
On which machine does the tool run?
The tool is designed for use on the Peddinghaus punching machine, for example the Hydraulic 280, and is supplied complete with tube notching punches and dies.
