Entry Guide and Edge Trim Tables

Addison sets the standard for quality tube mill products. All components are fabricated from tool steel, carbide, high-grade alloys, or other advanced materials using computer generated design and state-of-the-art manufacturing. The rugged, stable designs yield long-lasting accuracy.

Features

• Two-, four-, and six-tool configurations available.
• Extra heavy, rugged design—accommodates strip widths up to 16" by 7 gauge.
• One centering adjustment instead of two—your strip is always square to the mill and tooling.
• Aluminum bronze guide rails top and bottom with hardened guide rollers.
• Special edge cutting tools remove slitting burr from carbon, stainless, and aluminum.
• Vertical and horizontal micrometer adjustments on the cutting tool allow full use of the 1" wide cutting surface, holding tool changes to a minimum.

An entry guide that is maintained properly will insure that the strip enters the mill centered and straight and that the strip is formed symmetrically about the centerline of the mill. This is even more important when using edge form breakdown roll designs to ensure proper edge break angles on both sides. Misalignment of strip can cause many forming and welding problems, such as uneven edge forming, rocking through the preform section, riding out of transition rolls, “V” breathing, and edge misalignment at the welder.
