Welded carbon tube mill
commissioned
T&H Lemont has commissioned a
Model WU35M-11 high frequency
welded mechanical tube mill for a
repeat North American customer. T&H
Lemont was chosen for the project
based on the successful installation
and commissioning of other mills for the
customer over the last 20 years.
The WU35M tube mill has a tube size
range from 2" OD to 6.625" round tube
at yields up to 65,000 psi material yield.
The gauge range for these sizes is from
0.09" to 0.25".
The mill is also designed to form and
weld 5.75" OD x 0.375" wall tubing for a
custom application. The mill will produce
at speeds up to 300fpm.
For reduced changeover times, the
mill includes a number of quick-change
features. The design of the mill includes
a permanent third stand to minimise
the time required for sub-plate removal
and replacement. When a changeover
is required, the sub-plates are
disconnected from the universals using
a hydraulically operated disconnect.
The sub-plates can then be removed
with an overhead crane. When the
second set of sub-plates are installed,
the sub-plates are moved into position
and located to the universals using the
same hydraulic system.
The weld box was designed with
interchangeable back plates to lessen
weld roll change time. Electric motors
on the weld box allow roll adjustments
to be made from the operator’s station
instead of manually.
A T&H Lemont seam orientation stand
is included in the mill to ensure that the
weld seam is maintained at top dead
centre for round tubes. However, if the
specification for squares and rectangles
calls for the weld seam to be moved
from top dead centre, the unit will give
the customer the flexibility to move the
weld seam. This option opens markets
for customers who require the weld
seam to be off-centre for fabrication or
bending.
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 by T&H
Lemont include welders, cut-offs,
entry equipment, accumulators, seam
orientation stands, weld boxes, edge
conditioner, bead scarfing systems,
straightening systems, single point
adjustment systems, de-dimplers, rolls,
blades, jaws and shafts.
