Roll-Kraft tube seminar boost Machine tool Exhibition

ROLL–KRAFT has seen an increased demand from customers around the world for tube and pipe and roll forming educational seminars and services during the economic slowdown. Areas have included Canada and Venezuela, along with various US locations all the way from Pennsylvania to Utah and Texas. With reduced manufacturing obli- gations, many companies have taken advantage of this time to sharpen their own skills and catch up on very important machine maintenance issues, which are often neglected, due to demanding production schedules. Roll-Kraft has had a full schedule of service calls and seminars over the past several months. Mr Robert Sladky, vice-president of Tube Mill Engineering, uses his many years of experience and knowledge to help companies make improvements that will be of benefit to them. Mr Sladky was a recipient of the TPA Industry Education Activities Award in 2003.

Joining him in various sessions are Chuck Summerhill, vice-president of US operations, and Bret Molnar, roll design engineer. Roll-Kraft provides services that include tube and pipe and roll forming mill evaluations, consultations, and mill alignments, as well as on-site seminars, all of which have a goal of improving profitability and increasing machine life. Mill evaluations and consultations can help identify problem areas that may adversely effect manufacturing tube and pipe and roll formed products. Small issues can often be rectified quickly to avoid larger problems later. Roll-Kraft manufactures tooling and equipment for the tube and pipe and roll forming industries. With over 45 years of experience, Roll-Kraft says it is a proven leader and is known worldwide for its engineering expertise and product design.
