MLP Steel Installs New Rolling Mill for Shapes and Profiles
11/03/2014 - MLP Steel LLC has installed a state-of-the-art rolling mill at its facility in Scottsdale, Pa., to add to the company’s capabilities of rolling special shapes and profiles.
The new mill is designed to produce flat wire, special shapes and profiles to exacting tolerances in sizes ranging from .030 to .375 inches in thickness to .187 to 1.0 inches in width. The profile geometry and control parameters are monitored throughout the coil by an in-line laser measuring system. The laser measuring ensures the customer dimensional accuracy and uniformity throughout the coil.
The manufacturing of the mill was a joint effort by MLP Steel, Herr-Voss Stamco, and Premier Automation. Herr-Voss Stamco provided the project management and engineering assistance; Premier Automation performed the electrical engineering, design and fabrication of the controls; and MLP Steel contributed engineering, machining and fabrication of the mill.
MPL Steel is positioned to meet the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace where new technologies are demanding higher strength materials rolled to close dimensional tolerances. MLP Steel maintains the ability to take a customer’s concept and make it a reality.
