Profitable Production Begins With Precision Performance
Mills Matched To The Metal
The presence of 63 metals on the
periodic chart of elements is a fundamental proof that certain materials behave
in specific ways. What you use to control the materials you work with must
reflect those differences, no matter how small or large. T&H Lemont has
the widest range of mill types, with an even wider range of customizable
features to meet the needs of any select tube and pipe mill situation as defined
by the specifics of the weld tensile and sizing variables.
Our fundamental understanding about the whole system, and not just an isolated
element or function, sets T&H Lemont apart and above all others. The
technological developments of our team, means T&H Lemont shares resources
and access to the world's most sophisticated welders and weld mechanicals. Our
research and development is unmatched and ongoing, providing the highest weld
integrity, continuously and consistently, and making this element of your system
virtually risk and worry free. Increased utilization, lowered scrap and
downtime, greater throughput and yields, all translate into one final
sum--higher profits.
Laser & TIG Mills
Designed for the most precise
fabrication of stainless steel and precious metals such as copper, brass,
platinum, titanium and even gold, T&H Lemont Laser and TIG mills provide
the tightest tolerances for production. The mandate behind our unparalleled
design is, in a word control. Control over everything that can go wrong.
With inline bright annealing systems and inline weld operations, potential
contamination of the seam is virtually eliminated.
A multi-cathode TIG welder provides simultaneous, constant and controlled arcs.
Air driven jaw assemblies deliver near-zero distortion in end cuts, all managed
and monitored with multi-section digital electronic controls. Our unique
sequential welding configuration means increased mill throughput and performance
by combining a power source with a high frequency arc that initiates the weld
and shielding gas flow, all aimed at optimum consistency and integrity at the
seam.
With all this rigid science at work, you still have the range and flexibility of
varied production specifications such as four and six water cooled weld boxes
with guide shoe capabilities all geared towards maximum versatility in product
yield.
Proven designs for TIG and laser welding, stainless, copper and precious alloys.

Quick Change Systems
T&H Lemont understands the need for rapid roll tooling changeovers on Pipe and Tube mills, where long changeovers mean higher inventories and/or eroding profits from excessive downtime. That's why we offer a comprehensive selection of systems to choose from to greatly improve production up-time, all part of our philosophy of partnering with our customers, long term, to promote flexibility and efficient operations mandatory in today's competitive marketplace.
 |
T&H Lemont can augment any basic mill configuration, no matter the material gauge, strength, or weld style (TIG, laser, or induction high frequency) with any of our quick-change innovations. All our systems are fully engineered, tested, and are made of machined steel construction to rigidly withstand the harshest operating environments. The basic system is our "Rafted: Manual Drive Disconnect". This system is mounted on a precision base with tight tolerance alignment features. The quick-change
sub plate rafts, when removed from the mill, for breakdown, fin pass, and sizing, are extra wide so outboard stands can remain on the base when changing rolls offline. Tapered locating pins align the subplate rafts on the main base and mill alignment blocks are keyed and bolted to the mill base. |
| Finally, when speed, accuracy and efficiency are all of critical and equal importance, T&H Lemont meets this demand with our most advanced system - a "Rafted: Third Stand Quick Connect/Disconnect, with Hydraulic assist" and optional "Hydraulic Shuttle Cart Raft Exchange" system. Here we take the ease and efficiency of third stand technology and mount hydraulic assists to eject and precisely locate raft sub-plates. The optional shuttle cart assists as a rotating storage and offline work platform for setups. The shuttle cart is in fact a completely independent raft replacement system. When set with tooling, it can be rolled into alignment automatically - a precision movement matched only by its speed and ease of changeovers. The changeover can now be measured in minutes especially when coupled with a programmable roll adjustment feature. |

Accumulators
To be blunt, at the front of the line, the consistent and continuous operation of your mill depends on the opposite. You must have the flexibility to handle speed fluctuations and complete mill stops, without disrupting the pace and flow of forming, welding, cutting and bundling of the rest of your process.
No other accumulator gives you this smooth operational autonomy than that from T&H
Lemont. We sought out the best technology possible to yield the most important benefit for this equipment.
An integrated programmable controller determines the strip processing and feed timing, not the operator. And the simplicity of operation is built into every element of our design.
Maximum strip storage along with separate fill/pull speed controls allows for loading and splicing of new coils
independent of the speed and timing of the line, even continuing to load at a rapid
pace while the rest of the mill is stopped.
The delicate flexibilities of our accumulators do not surrender precision over time. Ours are built with the most rugged of mill environments in mind, and their performance on the day you install them is assured for many years to come. Ease of maintenance and repair is an additional relief for more than just the operator, but for maintenance all the way up to the boardroom and to those that watch the bottom line - T&H Lemont accumulators are synonymous with the start of worry-free mill operations.
