Yoder Supplies Pull-Thru Forming Section for High Performance Flux Cored Wire

Yoder has recently supplied a domestic flux cored weld wire manufacturer with a pull through raft set version of the QVW-150 mill.  This specialized QVW-150 mill will replace a competitor's pull through machine, while adding the benefits of interchangeable tooling with their existing Yoder M-1½ machines and greater vertical adjustment for more regrinds between tooling replacements.  In addition, they will experience significantly improved changeover between sizes thanks to the cantilevered tooling arrangement, coupled with single-point adjustment on all vertical and horizontal forming stands.

Yoder Updates M-Series Roll Forming Machines

Yoder recently updated its M-Series of driven forming stands for roll forming and tube mills. The four models of M-Series driven stands incorporate a rigid, gusseted outboard design, which has years of proven performance in the QVW-Series machines. The updated versions also have the option of Yoder’s new eccentric toggle disconnect.  With the ability to form deep sections and operate a wide range of tooling sets on a single roll former or tube mill, the disconnect mechanism allows the top drive gear to be taken out of the fixed gear ratio, on specific stations, to accommodate tooling designs that do not match the machinery gear ratio, enabling customers to run a wide range of existing tooling on this machine.  Additionally, these features are reverse compatible, so they can be retrofitted onto existing M-series roll forming machines and tube mills.
