Downtime isn’t an option in steel production, as this can lead to project delays, loss of revenue, and frustrated customers. At Technox Machine & Manufacturing Inc., we understand that steel mills rely on durable, precise components that can withstand extreme heat, massive loads, and continuous operation. We specialize in heavy-duty, tight-tolerance machining services and producing reliable components for the steel mill industry. From custom parts to complex assemblies, our precision machining can help ensure smooth operations, minimizing costly interruptions.
Learn more about our capabilities, the types of parts we manufacture for steel mill customers, and what sets Technox apart.
Addressing the Demands of Steel Production
A steel mill is among the most challenging environments in manufacturing due to high levels of thermal stress, abrasive materials, and continuous mechanical forces. With advanced CNC machining equipment and a deep understanding of metallurgy, we can create parts and components that are built for the challenge of steel production. Our capabilities include:
- Large part machining. We have boring, turning, and milling equipment for machining large, heavy parts from fixtures to machine tables, and beyond.
- High-tolerance manufacturing. Our CNC equipment can hold tight tolerances cycle after cycle so parts fit and function properly every time.
- Rapid prototyping and custom fabrication. We can produce a functional prototype quickly so you can assess new designs. With our custom manufacturing services you can replace worn obsolete parts or develop entirely new ones.
We work with high-quality material grades and focus on precision machining and finishing so you receive reliable parts that reduce maintenance and repair time. That means you’ll spend more time on productive work and keep personnel safe too.
Key Components and Applications for Steel Mills
At Technox, we provide precision-machined parts used in multiple stages of steel production. We can make parts for everything from the melt shop to the rolling mill based on your renderings and specifications. Some common components we make for our steel production customers include:
- Rolling mill rolls. High-precision rolls are essential for shaping hot steel. Our machining process helps ensure the perfect profile for consistent product quality.
- Mandrels and arbors. Used in the coiling and uncoiling processes, mandrels and arbors are made exceptionally strong and concentric through CNC machining.
- Gears and shafts. Heavy-duty gears and shafts transmit power for nearly all operations. Precision machining creates structurally sound parts that can handle extreme torque.
- Bearings, housings, and bushings. These parts support and guide rotating elements. High-tolerance CNC machining ensures optimal performance and helps avoid premature wear and part failure.
- Furnace and ladle components. We can create custom melt shop parts based on our customers’ designs.
Our team can replace existing parts as well as reverse-engineer and even improve the design of many components.
