Yoder M-Series Roll Forming Systems

Yoder M-Series Roll Forming Systems

Yoder M-Series Roll Forming Systems are one of the most popular and copied mill stands in the world. Highlights of these systems include:

  • Drive housing encloses all gears in oil tight case.
  • Precision Timken tapered roller bearings (inboard side).
  • Roller bearings, rotating in hardened sleeves (outboard side).
  • Features toggle-link gear train to maintain full gear mesh through entire top roll shaft adjustment.
  • Outboard housing removable from ends of roll spindles and adjustable laterally on spindles. This permits most advantageous support of roll shafts during forming of narrow sections.
  • Alloy steel roll spindles, carburized, hardened, and ground.
  • Hardened hex-type clamping nuts.
  • Micrometer screws to facilitate accurate adjustment of spindles after roll changes.
  • Toggle-type idler gears permit maximum roll adjustment but maintain constant gear mesh.
  • Chain-type flexible coupling interconnects worm shafts of individual roll stands.
  • Top driven idle gear mechanicals available.
Yoder Open Throat Cut-Off Mechanical Presses

Yoder Open Throat Cut-Off Mechanical Presses

The open throat design of Yoder Open Throat Cut-Off Mechanical Presses provides maximum accessibility for die adjustment and service. It also makes for easier removal of finished lengths of stock. These press type cutoffs have fabricated steel sub-bases, with adjusting screws for lateral and vertical alignment. Semi-steel, cast frames are accurately machined to insure permanent alignment of moving parts. Heads are semi-steel castings, deeply ribbed. Long bearing surfaces are accurately fitted to machined ways in the press frame. Long steel gibs hold the head in the ways, insuring proper alignment. Hardened and ground steel die slides support the die shoe and punch holder of the P-25 press. Hardened and ground die rails, mounted in pilot grooves in the press frame of the P-55 and P-75 units, insure alignment of the sliding cutoff die.

  • Rafted for quick changeover.
  • Spring-loaded universals for quick disconnect.
  • Precision Timken tapered roller bearings (inboard side).
  • Roller bearings, rotating in hardened sleeves (outboard side).
  • Alloy steel roll spindles, carburized, hardened and ground.
  • Hardened hex-type clamping nuts.
  • Micrometer screws to facilitate accurate adjustment of spindles after roll changes.
Yoder Seam Rotation Stands

Yoder Seam Rotation Stands

Yoder Seam Rotation Stands (SRS), or seam orientation unit (SOU), is a unique device, which allows the mill operator to locate and position the weld seam at a particular radial location. In the event of cambered strip or seam wandering it is now possible to place the seam at the twelve o’clock (12:00) position, or wherever the operator chooses to place it in a sixty-degree (60°) axis from top dead center. The Seam Rotation Stand can be supplied with manual adjustment or motorized adjustment. Common Structural sizes include 3.5″ (89.2 mm), 5.5″ (139.7 mm), 6-5/8″ (168.3 mm), 8-5/8″ (219.1 mm) for mechanical tubing and hollow structural sections.

Yoder Single and Double Turksheads

Yoder Single and Double Turksheads

Yoder Single and Double Turksheads control straightness and twist, for rounds and shapes, and frequently designs custom arrangements for specific applications. These turksheads can be manual adjustment, motorized adjustment, or pneumatic adjustment, which Yoder’s application engineers can assist in determining the appropriate choice.

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits deliver the most precision to make it easier to use and more practical to own.

  • No wrenches required to make top shaft adjustments — with the option of hand wheels or hand crank.
  • Digital readouts on both inboard and outboard stands.
  • Readouts indicate actual top-to-bottom shaft displacement in inches with a resolution of 0.0005″.
  • Readouts and screw jacks are matched for actual vertical adjustment dimension, not some random number that has to be saved for reference
  • Screw jacks have true anti-backlash gearing. The assemblies can be adjusted in the future, to maintain the zero backlash and precise location.
  • Spring-loaded linkage coupling makes un-cocking or cocking of top shaft easy to notice and easy to do. (see below)
  • Can be retrofitted to Yoder and non-Yoder mill stands.
Yoder Tube and Pipe Mill Systems

Yoder Tube and Pipe Mill Systems

Yoder has long been recognized as one of the earlier pioneers in the welded seam tube mill business. Yoder Tube and Pipe Mill Systems include multiple standard tube mills for common product sizes. In addition to the standard machines, Yoder also offers specialized equipment that covers a huge diameter range of metal tubes and pipes; from the 3/16″ (4.76mm) O.D. cold stretch reducing mills to the 28″ OD cage mills. As required by the application for welding the tube or pipe, Yoder can provide mills with high-frequency induction or contact welders, DC & AC Square Wave Welding (ERW), TIG and laser.

For Tube and Pipe manufacturing, Yoder provides a range of solutions to fit the application: complete mills, individual machines, mill accessories, tooling, as well as well as consulting, engineering studies and retrofits to existing installations.

Yoder Weld Boxes

Yoder Weld Boxes

Yoder Weld Boxes are available in standard and customer sizes, for existing mills or new installations. The wide range of Yoder Weld Boxes are designed for use with high frequency induction or contact welding, ERW, TIG, SAW and laser welding methods.

As the welding method and application requires, Yoder designs and builds 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-roll and hybrid roll-shoe weld boxes for specific purpose, whether it is welding round or shapes.

Digital Readouts, motorized adjustment and inter-cooling is available, should the application require.

For unique applications, Yoder can provide Engineering designs for customer’s to manufacture their own weld boxes, as well as other machine accessories.

Yoder WH-Series Roll Forming Systems

Yoder WH-Series Roll Forming Systems

Yoder is one of the few companies in the roll forming industry that can provide equipment for the heavy gauge and high-strength steel markets. Yoder WH-Series Roll Forming Systems offer increased strength capabilities, decreased changeover time and simplified maintenance compared to the W-Series machines that preceded them. Like the Yoder tradition, the WH-Series machines continue to utilize rugged cast housings made in the United States, machined, assembled and tested at our facility in Cleveland, Ohio.
