Guide Mounting & Restbars for Long Rolling Mills

In long rolling mills, the precise positioning and support of metal strips are crucial for ensuring smooth movement and preventing misalignment during the rolling process. Guide mounting systems and restbars work in tandem to provide stable contact points at critical stages, particularly at the entry and exit of each rolling stand.

Proper guide mounting is critical for accurately directing rods and bars through the rolling mill. These systems enable easy guide changes, precise adjustments, and reliable operation in demanding environments. Available in various configurations, they are adaptable to different mill stands, including conventional and housingless designs. By integrating advanced guide mounting systems and restbars, long rolling mills can achieve precise alignment, reduced downtime, and enhanced overall productivity.
