O’tipping : The new way to retip used core bitsOnce the segments of a corebit are used,it can be re-tipped by brasing new segments.This re-tipping operation is rather costly interms of labor costs, inventory, handlingand transportation and requires the returnof the corebit back into a workshop.The new O’Tip, which consists of a steelringpre-mounted with segments which canbe quickly brased on core drilling tubes, brings asimple solution, easy to implement even on the jobsite.Segments on O’tip rings are perfectly aligned and spaced, which is very difficult when using magnetsin manual brazing. Their torque resistance is close to laser-welded segments.The steel ring cross section is “L” shaped, providing a much larger brasing contact surface betweenthe tube and O’Tip, and bringing wear-protection to the tip of the tube.Segment Torque resistanceto breakage (in N/mm²)Time saving between retipping and O’Tippingwww.construction.norton.eu
