Lock Seamer

The longitudinal pipe lock seamers for sheet metal guarantee profit maximisation and production performance. These machines are used in various sectors of sheet metal working and in many cases are able to replace the welding processes of mild steel and stainless steel ferrules on thicknesses between 0.3 and 0.8 mm. The dual objective is achieved of improving the production cycle and eliminating the typical disadvantages of the most common types of welding (high costs, risks related to the health and safety of operators and users).

The process of pipe lock seaming is very fast and extremely practical and can be integrated within automatic loading and unloading systems for in line insertion. The machine can be manufactured in different models on the basis of the lengths of the sheet metal to be pipe lock seamed:

MODEL	EL 057-500	EL 057-500	EL 057-500	EL 057-500
Min. thickness (R=700 N/mm2)	0.3 mm	0.3 mm	0.3 mm	0.3 mm
Max. thickness (R=700 N/mm2)	0.8 mm	0.8 mm	0.8 mm	0.8 mm
Max. pipe lock seaming length	500 mm	625 mm	1000 mm	1250 mm

 
AREAS OF USE OF THE LUCAS PIPE LOCK SEAMERS 
 
The Lucas longitudinal seamers are used in many industrial sectors, both independently and in tandem within complex production lines. The ideal uses for this machine include: the manufacture of filter bodies for compressors and other separators; the production of external casings for boilers and water heaters; the creation of stainless steel furnishing elements (e.g. baskets, waste disposal bins, cake tins etc.).
The lowest common denominator is the speed of processing combined with precision and compliance with safety and performance design requirements.
 
Practicality is another strong point of the Lucas pipe lock seamers and results in ease of use of the machinery. The pipe lock seamers require very little maintenance and settings.  Where required, the Lucas technicians are in any case able to provide on site customer service through staff training and post-sale inspection of the sheet metal pipe lock seamer.  Lucas provides a swift and complete service for the supply of spare parts subject to wear or for any other needs.  The four decades of experience in the production of sheet metal machinery is for Lucas a source of pride and is the basis of a constantly evolving range.  Visit the page dedicated to the other machinery and assess for yourself the specifications of the pipe lock seamer and of the Lucas solutions.
