Getting to Know the Iowa Precision 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 inserts and crimps Iowa Precision TDC and TDF Corners in seconds, allowing you to do a duct section — eight corners — in about 20 seconds in any gauge (16 through 26). Test results have shown that the Iowa Precision Cornermatic Plus HVAC Ductwork Corner Inserter Machine can produce 80 ducts/hour vs. 15 ducts/hour for manual insertion.

The machine is fully automated with no switches or foot pedals – just push in and Cornermatic Plus does the rest. The Cornermatic Plus handles particularly difficult inside angles on off-set transitions and tight square throats with ease. Additionally, the machine will do odd size fittings such as flex connectors and curbs.

The Cornermatic Plus is Iowa Precision's most versatile corner insertion machine, designed for flexibility and convenience. The machine, which is available as a table or ‘in-floor’ mounted unit depending on your needs and shop setup, can also adapt to various duct sizes and materials effortlessly. Corners feed from below the work-surface allowing a clean, unobstructed work area.

The Cornermatic Plus ensures consistent and high-quality corner insertions every time. The machine works with SMACNA-conforming, T-25a and T-25b flange and many other flanged duct systems without changing settings, and corners are inserted square and fully crimped.

With these features as well as the Cornermatic precision engineered and stamped TDC/TDF style corners, the Cornermatic Plus can improve work place safety, reduce manual labor, and improve duct quality.
