Rolling Mill Gauge Positioners

In both hot and cold rolling operations, the ability to precisely adjust the roll gap is essential for achieving accurate material thickness and surface finish. Gauge positioners must deliver powerful, controlled motion under extreme forces and harsh conditions while maintaining tight tolerances over continuous runs.
