Iowa Precision Cornermatic Plus Automated Corner Insertion Machine

The Iowa Precision Cornermatic Plus Automated Corner Insertion Machine was specifically designed to reduce shop labor by addressing the difficulty with inserting corners into duct FITTINGS — from standard fittings to odd fittings like tight square throat elbows, flex connectors, offsets down to 2″ throats, and even the toughest inside or outside angle off-set transition fitting from 16-26 gauge. Sitting at an ergonomically comfortable table height, the Cornermatic Plus The Cornermatic Plus can handle any transverse duct connector (TDC) or transverse duct flange (TDF) fitting assembled on a bench and automatically and effortlessly completes eight (8) transverse duct connector (TDC) or transverse duct flange (TDF corner inserts — square and fully crimped — in approximately 20 seconds.

Features

  • Specifically designed for the fabrication of duct fittings from 16-26 gauge — from standard fittings to odd fittings like tight square throat elbows, flex connectors, offsets down to 2″ throats, and even the toughest inside or outside angle off-set transition fitting
  • Completes eight (8) corner inserts in seconds
  • Operator friendly above ground, table height setting is ideal for fabricating small fittings — adjustable legs to match most bench heights
  • Heavy gauge switch for 16-18 gauge performance and light gauge switch for 20-26 gauge performance enhances the crimping process — slows the Cornermatic down for heavy gauge and speeds it up for light gauge
  • Fully automated — no switches or foot pedals — just push in and Cornermatic does the rest
  • Corners are inserted square and fully crimped — no need to change the crimping adjustment when inserting corners in 16 to 26 gauge fittings
  • Corners feed from below the work-surface allowing a clean, unobstructed work area
  • Light bar indicates when the material has fully engaged on the right or left side of the infeed guide clamps — green light = Go, red light = No
  • Light bar also indicates empty corner magazine
  • Works with SMACNA-conforming, T-25a and T-25b flange and many other flanged duct systems without changing settings
  • Each quick loading box holds eigthy (80) corners and loads in ten (10) seconds

The Cornermatic Family of Automated Corner Insertion Machines

Cornermatic Plus Versa Automated Corner Insertion Machine

The Cornermatic Plus Versa is the most flexible unit for production available. Similar to the Cornermatic Plus, the Cornermatic Plus Versa was designed for the designed for the fabrication of duct FITTINGS — from standard fittings to odd fittings like tight square throat elbows, flex connectors, offsets down to 2″ throats, and even the toughest inside or outside angle off-set transition fitting from 16-26 gauge. The Cornermatic Plus Versa features the same above ground, ergonomic table height setting as the Cornermatic Plus, but also adds a floor level setting which allows for sliding over larger, heavier fittings and cut duct sections (machine goes from in-ground to above ground in less than 1 minute with a simple push of a button).

Cornermatic II Whisper-Loc Combination Automated Corner Insertion and Pittsburgh Seam Closing Machine

The Iowa Precision Cornermatic II Whisper-Loc Combo is a unique, innovative machine that not only inserts and crimps corners into both ends of ductwork but also closes longitudinal Pittsburgh seams on the same ductwork when required. This design allows the operator to accomplish both corner insertion and seam closing on one machine without having to handle the ductwork between processes. The system will close the Pittsburgh seam on any ductwork that uses the duct flanges conforming to T25-a or T25-b under the SMACNA Duct Construction Standards. It will also close the Pittsburgh seam on ductwork that uses the raw edge or slip and drive method as well as slip-on flange type ductwork.

Dual-Head Cornermatic Classic Automated Corner Insertion Machine

The Dual Head Cornermatic Classic Automated Corner Insertion Machine automatically inserts and crimps specially designed transverse duct connector (TDC) and transverse duct flange (TDF) style corners in seconds. Allows you to install all eight (8) corners, fully crimped on a duct section in about 45 seconds with virtually no physical exertion. Compared to other methods of hand insertion and crimping, it’s a saving of 3 to 6 minutes per section of ductwork depending on size and gauge. The Adjustable Dual Head Cornermatic Classic adds the feature of automatically adjusting the upper crimping head to handle duct from 38″ to 72″ in length.
