of Tube Events 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.
