Scope Mill Alignment & Mechanical Service

Scope Tube and Pipe Mill AlignmentOur experienced team of millwrights and technicians are trained to align and service your mill equipment so that it runs smoothly and efficiently. We offer:

  • Mill Alignments. Can your mill self-thread from first driven pass to last? If not, maybe you should call to discuss an alignment. T&H Lemont uses an optical scope that can be used to align all types and makes of tube and pipe mills, regardless of welding process, as well as all makes of roll formers. The result is a precision alignment that ensures repeatability.
  • Field Replacement of Bearings and Shafts. Repair and preparation of your mill for precision alignment.
  • Preventative Maintenance Evaluations. We’ll check the gearboxes, drivetrain, and other wear-critical systems for appropriate repairs or changes to maintenance schedules.
  • Overhauls and Rebuilds. When there is too much to do, or too little time to do it, our skilled mill builders can be your temporary maintenance department at our place or yours.

Scope Mill Alignment Process

A “SCOPE” Mill Alignment is an exclusive, 2-to-3 day mill alignment service from T&H Lemont. It is available to all manufacturers of tube, pipe and rollform sections. The special techniques used in a “SCOPE” alignment have been developed and perfected by T&H Lemont’s engineers on new mill systems. The result is a complete mill alignment from forming through cutoff, with an achievable accuracy of ±.001 over a total distance of 250 feet. T&H Lemont’s engineers first check the levels and elevations of both forming and sizing sections. The “SCOPE” system is then mounted to the mill base at the entrance to the forming section. Key target fixtures are mounted to each shaft, allowing a direct readout of “out-of-alignment” in thousandths-of-an-inch. Bearings and collars are relocated as required to give proper shaft location. Each shaft is paralleled to the base and to one another. The same procedure is then repeated for the sizing section.
