Yoder Manufacturing of Cleveland, Ohio, a member of the Formtek Group, has developed a new version of its W-10S/W-15S Reducing Tube Mill System to meet the needs of small diameter appliance refrigeration and automotive fuel line tubing. The Yoder W-10S/W-15S can produce ½” diameter tube and reduce a range of finish diameters and wall thicknesses down to 3/16”. The reducing section is independently adjustable, for 3/16” to 1/2” finish diameters. The versatility of this reducing configuration, recently updated with full digital controls, decreases changeover time and improves repeatability of setups.
