T&H Lemont offers precut, post cut, feed to stop, flying cutoff, prenotch, post notch, and other numerous concepts. Fifty years of experience and unmatched customer satisfaction is your assurance of the best possible results. For these systems, we furnish Uncoilers, Straighteners, Precision Roll Feeds, Hydraulic and Mechanical Presses, Tooling, End Formers and Material Handling.

An available array of roll formers can meet your specific needs. All these components will be unified and controlled by strong software support, custom commercial or existing in-house programs. The latest in user-friendly touch screen system controls and skilled training puts the equipment in your plant, operating and making money sooner than you expected.

T&H Lemont's service starts with understanding your requirements and expectations and offering expert advice and then translating that into physical equipment. This may include the rugged RU series Roll Former for your most demanding speed and material requirements. Each roll shaft has double Timken bearings in the inboard and outboard supports with double output worm gear reducers. Options include: Quick change rafted sub plates with spline universal couplings, digital single point micrometer top shaft adjustment, AC Servo Drive for feed to stop applications, AC variable speed for inverted type drive controls, AC variable speed with vector type drive controls, DC variable speed drive.

T&H Lemont also offers an innovative ultra fast change over utilizing the DP or TP series Roll Formers which can mount up to four sets of roller dies on one machine. Change over can be as quick as it takes to put on a new coil of material. For panel forming, the DH series offers the ability to roll form two edges with an option for four edges in any combination within minutes.

Whatever your need, T&H Lemont has the solution.
