Intergrated Industrial Systems can supply 2 High mills for specialty applications.

These mills are occasionally a better solution than 4 High mills for light reduction and camber control for in-line use such as roll forming and stamping operations.

Heavy reduction of plate material is another area where 2 High mills, with their large roll bite, are often used. Lastly, we provide many 2 High mills for skin pass / surface conditioning applications. Please refer to our section on Temper / Skin Pass Mills for more information.

Four high mills are probably the most common type of mill

and are used throughout the ferrous and non-ferrous metal industries. Four highs can be used for heavy gauge "breakdown" rolling, for relatively thin gauge finish rolling and for temper / skin pass rolling.

Four highs can be supplied for one way operation, for reversing operation or in multiples for tandem operation

At I²S we have designed and manufactured 4 highs ranging in size from 2" & 5.25" x 8" to 21" & 49" x 108", speeds from 10 FPM to 3,300 FPM and separating forces from 50,000 lbs to 7,000,000 lbs.

I²S has designed and supplied bonding mills for cladding an assortment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Clad materials range from multiple "full strip width" layers such as used for coin stock to multiple inlayed strips used in the precision electronics industry.

I²S bonding mill lines include multiple uncoilers, strip clean equipment, take-up reels, etc.

20HI or "Z" Mills (20 High Cluster Mills) to meet every requirement!

I²S has developed a line of very successful Sendzimir-Type (ST) monoblock 20HI Mills for accurate thin gauge production. These mills are also the best choice for heavy reduction of harder materials such as stainless steel due to the rigid housing design and work roll support within the cluster.

Aside from I²S' own design in various sizes and widths, I²S also offers licensed versions of the T. Sendzimir ZR Mill. Please take a moment to review some of the features that contribute to this superior design as well as a few featured projects which are available for download in PDF format from the link on this page.

Temper Mills - Stand Alone or In-Line Applications.

Temper mills are an integral part of the processing of metal. Recent trends have caused an increase in the use of Temper Mills as part of processing lines. I²S has provided Temper/Skin Pass Mills for tension leveling lines, galvanizing lines, cut-to-length lines and stamping/roll form lines.

Those Mills are designed to produce coils with superior flatness and surface quality, reducing coil spring-back for downstream operations and therefore increasing the value of the material to the end user.

I²S provides patented in-line gauge and camber controls for today's high speed, high precision, welded tube, roll forming, and stamping lines.

Important features related to the I²S Tube and Pipe Mills:

In-Line, real time, adjustment of incoming raw materials to /- 0.0005" of desired tolerance (within the design capacities of a given mill). Based on a maximum incoming strip thickness variation rate of 0.0005" per foot of strip length.

Non-Contact Gauging Systems

Gamma Gauges

I²S now offers the first "Mill Duty" Gamma Gauge designed and built by a fully integrated mill builder, specifically for the harsh mill environment.

The new system consists of a resistive industrial touchscreen monitor and a Pentium computer which can be used as a Stand Alone System.  It can also be fully integrated into a complete mill system utilizing AGC, SPC, and Programmable Logic (PLC) controls.  The optional Strip Profile feature automatically traverses the gauge across the width of the strip, detecting each edge, and graphically reproduces the profile of the strip thickness on the computer screen.

I²S has researched and utilized the most advanced hardware available to remove drift and noise. Our preamplifier electronics have been designed from the ground up to offer superior signal handling while withstanding the significant shock hazards so common with rolling mills. The computer uses many of the same boards we run in our AGC and touchscreen computers thus reducing spare parts needed by our customers.

I²S has also improved all of the electronic components to take advantage of the latest advances in opto signal processing. The gauge interface boards are all printed circuit type and designed with quick release terminal strips for ease of installation and troubleshooting.

Gauge controls, gauge set up parameters, and calibration are all accessed through the touchscreen and can be saved to disk. All system readouts can be displayed in English units or Metric.

All controls are accessed through the main menu. Our new Alloy Screen allows the operator to associate the material composition number to the more familiar name that is used for the material. Once entered, the alloy is then selected by its desired name and the internal information is automatically entered into the computer system. Set gauge, source on/off, standardization, as well as an electronic strip chart display simplifies calibration and operation of the gauge. The Intergrated Industrial Systems non-contact gamma gauge is the finest available.

Our gauge system has never been easier to operate or set up. Complete system knowledge including operation, setup calibration, troubleshooting, and maintenance can be attained through a minimal amount of instruction.

The I²S gamma gauge has been designed for the rugged industrial mill environment and complies with all United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and international standards for gauge safety.

At Intergrated Industrial Systems, we are continuously researching and developing the latest in technology to keep you at the forefront of today’s high-tech metals processing industry.Back to Top

X-Ray Gauges

Do you need to measure something as thin as newsprint? Something as thick as an inch of steel? Do you need that gauge to be non contact? Fast? Reliable? Able to hold tolerance to an accuracy of 0.1%?
