As a primary manufacturer of custom tools, Tri Tool offers a diverse line of specialty equipment for a broad range of specific applications. Machinery is available for fitting reclamation, weld crown finishing, boiler applications and chipless machinery for chipless cutting of tubes.
The AdaptARC automated welding machines offer the most advanced orbital and linear pipe welding systems for the professional welder. Designed for durability and versatility, the AdaptARC system offers multiple processes for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding pulsed spray (GMAW-P) and short arc (GMAW-S), and Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW).
The ILUC clamp series was developed to provide internal line up for welding of small-bore piping systems. This modular system allows for different configurations to fit a wide variety of applications. Available options include copper backing for root pass integrity, purge dams for TIG welding, and a pneumatic drive system for horizontal operations. For vertical use, an emergency brake system is actuated on loss of pneumatic pressure or electrical current preventing the clamp from dropping into the pipeline.
Tri Tool's Laser Dimensioning System (LDS) was designed to measure open-ended pipes using laser sensors as the measuring device.
The laser sensors measure displacement (position) against a target (surface of the pipe) without requiring contact with the surface.
At Tri Tool, we are the tool bit experts.
