Yoder recently performed a major upgrade to a 75 year old M-2
tube mill, including roll stands, turkshead and drive system. All the driven roll stands were replaced
with new-style M-2 units. The new style
units will allow the customer to produce a larger diameter tube than they could
previously. The tube mill stands include the gusseted outboard housing for
improved rigidity, Additionally, the new double turkshead improves control of
part straightness. Finally, the drive system
was upgraded from 2-motors to 3, effectively doubling the mill speed without
any tooling modifications
Yoder’s M-Series tube mills are a time tested, rugged,
scalable solutions to meet a range of custom and high production, industrial
applications. For more information,
