Does a SuperFlow TCRS System make sense for your operation?
|
|
|
Looking for a cost-effective way to increase operating margins with existing staff?
Considering a new turnkey stand-alone operation in your area?
Everyone's situation is different, but as a general rule, if you're purchasing two or more converters a day from outside sources, you should explore the potential of an in-house converter rebuilding program for your own remanufacturing work and the extra income potential you can realize from other transmission shops in the area.

Bushing Removal and Installation
(BP-1000)
Tired of damaging parts when removing bushings from transmission pump assemblies or other tight places? This innovative machine engages even hard-to-reach bushings and extracts them cleanly.
Installation is easy. And with precise hydraulic controls, you get perfect placement every time. Quick-change tooling and user-friendly foot pedal controls keep it simple.

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Riveter
(TCR-500)
Removes and installs rivets at a single workstation for increased productivity. Convenient foot pedal makes it simple and hands-free. Powerful motor provides up to 2,500 psi of smooth, precision-controlled power and adjustable needle valve control.
Includes all popular punch and die tooling, including rotary tooling for fast, precise, perpendicular removal and installation of converter turbine hub rivets.

Fast.
Affordable.
Compact.
Operator friendly.
As lock-up clutches get bigger, SuperFlow answers the need for more capacity with a bonder that accommodates large-diameter pistons and front covers.
Bonding the Allison 1000/2000 Series lock-up pistons, for example, is no problem for a TCRS bonder. The PB-2002 piston bonder can bond most lock-up pistons up to 14" (36 cm) in diameter-including front covers--every seven minutes on average.

|
|
|
|
How does it work?
Simply place the lock-up piston in the bonder and it heats, presses the clutch lining, and automatically releases. (Some pistons require longer or shorter bonding cycles; you can easily change the timer.) Open the door, remove the finished piston, and you are ready for the next one.
The 28 different aluminum (instead of steel) bonder dies allow you to heat faster and more evenly, eliminating hot or cold spots. Special-order dies are also available. A one-piece ring heater maintains even heat.
Only top-grade USA pneumatic components are used. Optional storage cart available.

Single and Dual Gun Auto-Weld Aligners
|
|
|
|
|
The core of SuperFlow's high-production torque converter rebuilding system are the TCRS Auto-Weld Aligners which take rebuilders through the critical phase of precision aligning and welding torque converters.
Prior to this point in the transmission rebuilding process, you can manage each step perfectly; however, why waste all that hard work because of an out-of-alignment converter or incorrect inside clearance?
With TCRS single- and dual-gun auto-weld aligners, you have the precision tools to do it right while keeping it simple. Features include air-operated collets and patented auto-tack and auto-weld functions. You can also perform "bowl" buildups and weld on impeller hubs and ring gears.
Choose the popular single-gun with all-steel, precision-aligned fixtures, precision-ground hard chrome spindles, and the proven reliability, ruggedness, and ease of operation of a Miller® welder (XMT 304 power supply and heavy-duty "dual roller" S-75 series wire feeder). Or, for maximum productivity and throughput, step up to the dual-gun auto-weld aligner.
Also, check out the convenience and control available with the TAC 12 PLUS digital control panel. Now you can determine the number of tacks--4, 6, 8, 12--and duration (approximately 570-670 milliseconds) and control both auto-tack and auto-weld cycles. JOG control rotates the table without welding. The LED displays tack time, table speed, and counts on the table motor encoder.
Solid-state components ensure high reliability. The TAC 12 PLUS also retrofits with prior TCRS weld aligner units.

The "SuperTanker" inspects leaks in seconds by pressurizing the converter with air and immersing the converter in water to check for any imperfections or pin-hole leaks. It works on all torque converter models from the new Allison 1000 to a Volkswagen/Audi converter and virtually any size hub with included rubber grommet sets: - Fastest on the market
- Operator safe and friendly
- Fingertip controls
- Easy to clean
The reservoir raises the water level to any height on the converter. It's equipped with an air-operated hand lever, air-adjusted regulators, and an air-operated sealing device.
The torque converter locks in place at a 45° or 90° angle for easy leak repair or for additional weight balance weight.

Hub Leak Tester (HL-100)
|
|
Testing hubs for leaks before welding the bowl together saves time and money.
Plus, it's easy to operate:
1. Select the proper size rubber grommet.
2. Place the impeller on the rubber pad.
3. Lower the cylinder.
4. Inflate to 40 psi (276 kPa).
5. Spray water on the weld.
6. Mark leaks for repair.
7. Raise the cylinder.
Within 60 seconds you're ready to test the next unit.
The tester has a "spud" adapter for hub leak testing "shorty" front wheel drive hubs and some flanged hubs.

A-107 Torque Converter Balancer
|
|
|
The new, improved Torque Converter Balancing System (TCRS ) features automatic weight indexing, a run-out compensation mode, push-button polishing, and better accuracy and repeatability than previous TCRS designs. The TCRS A-107 torque converter balancer incorporates SuperFlow's proven embedded microprocessor technologies into a new re-design.
The A-107 is extremely accurate, user friendly, and reliable. In fact, without any bolting required, an operator using either touch-screen or keypad controls can balance a torque converter in as little as 45 seconds.
Because the system is not sensitive to welders, operators can weld weights to the torque converter without removing it from the balancer.
The exclusive proprietary design allows it to compensate for tooling misalignment. The system also integrates self-calibration.

The TCRS A-107 torque converter balancer accommodates virtually all torque converter models and sizes: foreign, domestic, high-performance. The package includes standard domestic tooling (approximately 80 pieces for Ford, GM, and Chrysler). With special tooling, the A-107 can handle other industrial-type applications such as flywheels, clutches, etc.
