Trumpf TruTool seam lockers close seams in straight, curved ducts

The Trumpf TruTool F 301 seam locker

Dobco Equipment Ltd. is the supplier that Canadian businesses approach for innovative power tools by Trumpf, especially the popular TruTool series. One key item in this extensive portfolio of high-quality equipment is the TruTool F 301 seam locker, designed to close seams in straight or curved ducts, especially in the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning industry, or HVAC. The TruTool F 301 is particularly ideal for closing Pittsburgh seams on ducts with flange heights ranging from eight to 11 millimetres (mm), as well as sheet thicknesses from 0.03 to 0.05 of an inch in mild steel.

With a self-feed feature

The TruTool F 301 uses an independent roll-glide process to close seams, locking sheets from 0.018 and 0.04 of an inch while automatically adjusting according to sheet thickness. This Trumpf tool also has a self-feed feature that ensures tight, continuous seaming. These features allow higher productivity and reduced costs for HVAC professionals.

Two models of the TruTool F 301 seam locker are available from Dobco – a 230-volt version and a 110-volt version. Both types have a working speed of four to seven metres a minute and a nominal input power of 555 watts. Several types of accessories are available too: a guide rail, a 30-degree driver roller, a 75-degree driver roller, a horizontal roller, and the Trumpf Box M3.
