Getting to Know the Iowa Precision Cornermatic Combo

The Cornermatic II Whisper-Lock Combo is a pneumatically operated machine that not only inserts and crimps corners into both ends of ductwork but closes longitudinal Pittsburgh seams on the same ductwork when required. For ductwork that uses the transverse duct connector (TDC) or transverse duct flange (TDF) method of joining, the Cornermatic Combo, eliminates the need for multiple machines. The unit automatically places a corner piece into a corner on each end of the duct and crimps them securely and permanently into place.

The combination of functions on the Cornermatic Combo saves not only time but also space on your shop floor, making this machine a powerhouse of capabilities as well as an ideal choice for shops of all sizes.

Cornermatic Combo

The seam closing on the Cornermatic Combo is powered by an electric motor and gearbox using a Variable Frequency Drive. The machine requires only compressed air and 460/3/60 current to operate. It will close the Pittsburgh seam as well as insert corners on any ductwork that uses the duct flanges conforming to T25-a or T25-b under the Duct Construction Standards. It will also close the Pittsburgh seam on ductwork that uses the raw edge or slip and drive method.

Specially designed corners for automation are quickly loaded into the magazines from the shipping cartons. The corners come oriented and stacked in the carton for quick and easy loading. The Cornermatic Combo is capable of utilizing standard StrapPak corners.™
