Addison Machine
Engineering Inc, USA,
has launched the first in
a line of unidirectional
mill components – a
redesigned entry guide
edge trimmer that can be
installed or adjusted from
either hand of operation.
Previously, most
components of this
type were designed
and assembled to
match the mill flow. The mill directional
difference requires mill manufacturers to
design, manufacture, and stock numerous
items that are mill flow specific. The new
design eliminates the need to stock these
additional components, and reduces the
costs associated with the manufacture
and inventory of the direction specific
spare parts. Existing edge trimmers can be
retrofitted with these new features.
Addison Machine Engineering designs,
manufactures and reconditions tube, pipe,
rollform and steel mill roll tooling (including
single and two-piece straightener rolls).
This is in addition to mill components,
and complete tube and pipe mills and
rollformers. Other services include
equipment rebuilding and retrofitting,
operator training, mill alignment and
technical consulting.

Complete production
lines for welded pipe
Oto Mills, Italy, designs, develops and
manufactures complete production lines
for welded pipe producers. The company
claims to have been one of the first
companies to design and manufacture a
system that could produce welded tubes at
350m/min.
The Oto Mills uncoiler line ranges from
simple and small machines like the single
mandrel uncoiler, to large and complex
equipment like the double uncoiler for
168mm OD tube and the single mandrel for
320mm diameter tube mills. Each element
of the line is designed to endure the loading
and high speed payoff operations of heavy
steel coils.
Uncoilers are also available for special
applications, such as the AD 256 PA,
which meets the needs of automatic entry
systems where the operator can completely
direct operating sequences from a control
desk. In addition, the AD 408 P planetary
uncoiler minimises cycle time by allowing
the loading of two coils at all times.
