ERI America and Volumec Announce Exclusive Distribution Agreement



ERI America and Volumec have announced an exclusive distribution agreement for North America. ERI America will handle sales and service for Volumec's complete drilling/tapping line, including its innovative VT/VTS Articulated Tapping System.

The VT/VTS Articulated Tapping System features a high-torque pneumatic spindle mounted on a balanced, articulated arm with a reach of 75" and a multi-directional magnetic positioning head. The VT/VTS system is capable of tapping fine holes in M3 - M26 steel. It was designed to run off standard shop air, portable compressor or even an air cylinder (limited run-time).

"Constructed of aviation grade tubular aluminum, the strong yet light weight arm allows for extreme portability with ease of positioning and accuracy," said a company spokesperson. "It is ideal for bench mounted workstations yet portable enough for shop cart mounting, and excels at truck-mounted in-field applications."

Product specifications:

  • Triple-balanced articulated arm system made entirely of aluminum with adjustable gas springs mounted on ball bearings, which helps ensure a quick and accurate hole alignment
  • High torque air-driven spindle with filter, pressure regulator and lubricator that can operate on standard shop air, portable compressor or air cylinder (limited run-time)
  • Standard multi-directional head allows tapping in virtually any position
  • Magnetic positioning for quick and accurate alignment of the spindle.
