T&H Lemont ships second of two TIG mills

T&H Lemont has shipped the second of two TIG mills to a customer that produces stainless steel pipe for commercial HVAC, industrial refrigeration, power generation, and industrial processing applications.

The two WU11M-12 model mills produce pipe diameters from 3/8 to 1.050 in. in wall thicknesses from 0.020 to 0.065 in. The mills are designed to run at a maximum of 50 FPM.

A double uncoiler, a shear and end welding unit, and an accumulator provide a buffer so production doesn’t stop. A six-roll, water-cooled weld box and an inert gas system protect and cool the weld. A camera-based weld seam tracking unit provides lateral and vertical positioning of the tricathode welding carriage. Each welding torch can be adjusted independently.
