Order for stainless steel tube mill T&H Lemont has received an order for a WU20H-12 TIG-welded tube mill. This is a repeat order from a current customer, and the success of previous mills from the company was key to the awarding of the new order. The customer is a speciality tube supplier serving a number of industries, including automotive, food and beverage and petrochemical. The mill consists of 12 driven vertical roll stands and 11 idle side pass stands. The WU20H mill is designed to form and weld 300 and 400 series stainless steel at speeds up to 300" per minute. Outside tube diameters range from 0.625" to 2.5", with gauge ranges from 0.025" to 0.11". The stands are designed for application- specific bearings and tolerances. The mill is driven by a completely integrated three-drive system, complete with operator bench board. The high strength inter-coupled gearboxes have double output shafts for driving both top and bottom spindles. Output shafts are heat-treated alloy steel, ground on all surfaces and mounted on heavy-duty anti-friction tapered roller bearings. Housings are precision machined to ensure accurate, permanent alignment of gears. The worm shaft is heat-treated steel and the worm gears are made of special alloy nickel bronze. An in-line flying cut-off saw will be provided to cut the tube to customer- specified length tolerances. The blade and quill assembly are driven by an AC motor and fully integrated with the mill controls. In addition to complete production systems, T&H Lemont provides a variety of components and services to the tube and pipe industries. Services include tube and pipe roll design, mill alignment and operational consulting. Components offered include welders, cut-offs, entry equipment, accumulators, seam orientation stands, weld boxes, edge conditioners, bead scarfing systems, straightening systems, single point adjustment systems, dedimplers, rolls, blades and shafts.
