Ever since the first generations of roller coasters, one common question has been: how do designers come up with new designs? It turns out there is a specialized machine that makes all of the designs possible. A Narrow Strip Mill is a special machine that can create unique patterns from continuous patterns or computer algorithms. As it moves up and down on its two axes, it lays down a thin layer of steel with the pattern it has been programmed for at its current position. By moving one axis at a time to different positions, engineers can create new designs that are impossible with any other tool.
We at RMT Tools provide a wide variety of narrow strip mill accessories, including bits, pins, t-slot bars, and T-slots. With our precision machine tools, you will always have the best quality strip mills and all other tower-type milling machines.
Advantages of Narrow Strip Mill
1. No limit to the length
Unlike traditional milling machines, the Narrow Strip Mill can manufacture various parts with a three-inch maximum length. It means there is no limit on a part’s size and shape. The ten thousand possible designs are limitless.
2. Flexible designs
The Narrow Strip Mill can be programmed to create any design possible. By programming it with a computer, we can program it to cut thousands of different patterns that could not be cut using any other tool.
3. Surface quality
The surface quality is important because it determines the tightness of the parts manufactured. The surface quality of the strip mill has been proven to be as good or better than conventional methods, where it takes a relatively long time to complete a given complex pattern. Unlike other methods, a result can be achieved in seconds.
4. High production capacity
The Narrow Strip Mill will allow you to manufacture parts at a very high volume. The adjustable speed, precise and steady aluminum feed, and the one-axis movement allow the strip mill to manufacture a large number of parts with a similar surface finish as conventional methods.
5. Economical and efficient
A traditional production line is used for conventional methods to create more consistent parts. A wide variety of parts can be produced on our systems as well. The Narrow Strip Mill will not take up the entire production line. The produced strips can be stored in a basket and taken off the production line at any time. That will alleviate the use of expensive equipment, such as robots or conveyor belts, for every part to be made.
6. Safety and easy operation
The Narrow Strip Mill uses less force than other tools. Therefore, it can be used without worrying about wearing out your parts or damaging them during use.
7. Less labor and less material
The Narrow Strip Mill can produce parts that are just as good as those made by a traditional production line when used appropriately. Depending on the application, you can save up to seventy percent of the labor cost for conventional methods. As far as tooling costs are concerned, it is further reduced by fifty percent because our tools require little maintenance.
Role of Narrow Strip Mill in the Steel Industry
1. It makes steel strips from a coil in the cold Rolled mill.
2. It makes steel strips from slabs in the hot rolled mill and HBI mill.
3. It can be used to make a narrow ribbon and narrow wires from scrap by a hot rolling de-scraping machine.
4. Narrow Strip Mill can be used to cut, plate, angle, section, bent, and various shapes of parts for forging or extrusion industries or other manufacturing industries like the shipbuilding industry, automobile industry, etc.
5. It can also be used to make variously shaped parts from stainless steel, cold rolled, and hot rolled mills by grinding.
6. It is also used to make narrow strips, sheets, and rods by machining or Milling.
7. Strip Mill can stamp, weld, and other shape parts.
