Precision Flat Bearings
Flat bearings are a critical component in maintaining optimal rolling conditions, protecting housings and chocks from damage and reducing downtime related to maintenance of key mill components. Corts precision flat bearings are designed to provide the highest level of damage-protection to chock and housing surfaces while also providing minimal, engineered wear. These design elements vastly extend the time period during which a mill can maintain a tight, optimized gap and assure the highest quality rolled product. Corrosion resistance and optimized lubrication allow for the smoothest operation, increasing production time and minimizing down-time required for maintenance related to mill component wear. Advanced monitoring devices also allow for early warning of potential wear or damage, providing an unprecedented level of real-time knowledge regarding production conditions. The result is a mill able to maintain optimal rolling conditions longer than ever before while vastly reducing ongoing wear and damage, thus avoiding costly maintenance fees and lost production time and capacity. |

Engineering services
Corts Engineering provides survey, machining and advanced monitoring services to help return mills to OEM specifications or better and provide a solid foundation for rolling high-quality product. Beginning with a survey of the base mill components such as the housings and chocks, advanced 3-D models and reports can be created to determine the current state of the core mill components. Depending on the results of the survey the wear or deformations to the mounting surfaces may require machining to return them to a clean, flat state. Precision flat bearings with advanced lubrication and monitoring devices can then be mated to the housings and chocks to provide long-term protection of the mounting surfaces while also providing a way to determine the ongoing condition of the system itself. The result is a tight, controlled gap optimized for the highest quality end product with long lasting protection against elements such as wear and corrosion that can adversely affect operations. On an ongoing basis, advanced monitoring and tracking systems provide early warning of component wear as well as the ability to keep track of which parts were used when and where, therefore allowing for optimized usage of mill components based on actual production data. |
