Services
20-High Cluster Mills
Our 20-High Cluster Mills excel at rolling rigid materials to ultra-thin gauges without multiple anneals. These mills handle widths from 4" to 80" and thicknesses down to 0.0001", using small work rolls for high pressure and superior surface quality. Specializing in stainless steel, titanium, and specialty alloys, they provide exceptional shape control through lateral roll movement and As-U-Roll technology.
Z-High Reversing Mills
Z-High Reversing Mills combine 20-High technology with 4-High cost-efficiency for precision steel strip production. Their chockless work rolls reduce deflection and mill spring variation, achieving tight gauge tolerances. Features include roll bending controls and quick-change systems that enable material changes in under two minutes while maintaining superior surface finish.
Shapemeter Technology
Shapemeter systems provide real-time strip shape visualization during rolling operations. Using load cell technology, these systems measure tension distribution across the strip width to ensure consistent flatness. Compact designs fit restricted spaces while maintaining accuracy within 5-7% error margin at full coil capacity.
Machine Design Projects
Our engineering team develops tailored solutions for metal processing challenges, including specialized rolling processes for jet engine compressor blades and servo-hydraulic retrofits. With expertise in electrical drive control and automation, we collaborate with clients to transform innovative concepts into operational reality through prototype development and implementation.
Planetary Mill Systems
Planetary Mills achieve up to 97% reduction in single pass through satellite roll arrangements. This compact design provides structural rigidity for small-diameter work rolls while maintaining high reductions in limited floor space. Originally developed for mini-mills, these systems offer cost-effective alternatives to traditional tandem hot mill lineups.
