Yoder Four-Headed Mill Cutoff — partnership with Milltech

Yoder Four-Headed Mill Cutoff — partnership with Milltech

Jul 7, 2020 | , ,

Yoder has been involved with the pipe producing market for many years. Cutoffs have evolved from rotary disc or tool machines to friction saws to the latest saw technologies. Milling saws provide a fantastic edge finish with minimum burr but tend to have longer cycle times. Formtek works with its licensee Milltech to provide the pipe mill markets the highest quality with the greatest performance. Milltech has developed mill cutoff systems utilizing 2-heads or 4-heads (depending on pipe size) to provide the best combination of end finish and cycle time performance. These machines are designed to handle the heavy strains put on them by the demanding cycles required by our customers.

Yoder has been in the pipe industries for over sixty years. Pipe is often threaded for a particular application and Milltech has developed two pipe threading systems to handle sizes up to 13-3/8” OD and 20” OD. These machines perform extremely fast cycle rates and when you put them into your threading system – your thread processing costs will certainly decrease!

Milltech and Formtek can now offer you either stand alone machines or complete threading systems, depending on what best fits your budget.

MTL Series
The MTL-340 series will produce 4-1/2” to 13-3/8” (114.3 to 339.7 mm) OD while the MTL-508 series will 10-3/4” to 20” (273.1 to 508.0 mm) OD. The MTL-340 has average cycle rates of 44 pcs/hr while the MTL-508 has average cycle rates of 37 pcs/hr. Different thread types can be produced, please inquire.

Yoder Universal Cage Forming System

Yoder Universal Cage Forming System

Jul 7, 2020 | , ,

The Yoder Universal Cage Forming System, originated and patented by Yoder, is based on sound mathematics and unique concepts. This method becomes more desirable and essential as the ratio of the pipe outside diameter to wall thickness (i.e., D/t ratio) exceeds 40:1, and up to 100:1 range. More conventional forming methods roll material in discrete steps or passes and employ brute force. The Yoder Cage System forms the strip continuously with smooth transitions and minimum effort. Hence, the material is actually guided through the forming mill with uniform but infinitesimal change of shape in each small increment of pipe travel.

The buckling of strip edges in light wall pipe has been a shortcoming of the conventional pipe mill. This is problem is even more evident now that higher yield strength materials are allowing pipe producers to decrease the wall thicknesses (and pipe weight) further, thus increasing the D/t ratio even more.
