"Scope" Mill Alignment

"SCOPE" Mill Alignment

Precision "SCOPE" Alignment ensures
repeatability, and that translates into a
bigger bottom line.

The "SCOPE" system can be applied to all types and makes of tube and pipe mills - including ERW, arc-weld, and high frequency, as well as all types of rollformers.

Let a T&H Lemont "SCOPE" alignment program breathe new life and productivity into your tube/pipe mill or rollformer.

WHAT IS A "SCOPE" MILL ALIGNMENT?

A "SCOPE" Mill Alignment is an exclusive, 2-to-3 day mill alignment service from T&H Lemont. It is available to all manufacturers of tube, pipe and rollform sections.

The special techniques used in a "SCOPE" alignment have been developed and perfected by T&H Lemont's engineers on new mill systems. The result is a complete mill alignment from forming through cutoff, with an achievable accuracy of ±.001 over a total distance of 250 feet!

Precision Mill Alignment

T&H Lemont's engineers first check the levels and elevations of both forming and sizing sections. The "SCOPE" system is then mounted to the mill base at the entrance to the forming section. Key target fixtures are mounted to each shaft, allowing a direct readout of "out-of-alignment" in thousandths-of-an-inch. Bearings and collars are relocated as required to give proper shaft location. Each shaft is paralleled to the base and to one another. The same procedure is then repeated for the sizing section.
