Drives forthe Metal

Industry

With more than 100 years of com-bined experience in the metal in-dustry, Jaure-Kopflex is able to provi-de innovative solutions in the steel,aluminium and copper industries.

Our supply program coversgear/elastic couplings and spindles forsteel production, hot and cold rollingmills, processing lines, finishing linesfor both new plants and moderniza-tion of old ones. That means that ourcouplings are present at every stage ofthe metal production.

Jaure-Kopflex couplings incorpora-te the latest proven technology andknow-how provided by a team ofhighly trained and experienced engi-

neers which ensure that all of our so-lutions are tailored to customer requi-rements.

Close proximity to the market allowus to build long-term partnerships withour customers, thus improving ourstandards of technology and service.

Jaure-Kopflex is committed to pro-vide quality products and services totheir customers, as well as to followcontinuous improvement through theJaure-Kopflex Quality ManagementSystem.

Furthermore, continuous coopera-tion with our customers help us to dri-ve our new products into tomorrow’scustomer needs.

Drives for the Metal IndustryJAURE S.A. has been developing for

over 50 years couplings for the mostdemanding applications in the Steel,Marine, Minerals, Hoists or WindmillIndustries.

The company has been integratedwith EPT/Kop-Flex, a brand under

Emerson Industrial Automation. Thismerger will significantly strengthenthe Jaure brand presence around theworld and add application expertisethat benefits both Jaure and Kop-Flexcustomers.

CastingContinuous casting has evolved from a batch process into a sophisticated process,

where mechanical design plays an important roll.Before obtaining the end product and its shape (billet, bloom, slab, beam blank,

and/or round) prior to rolling, the strand is transferred on the roller tables to a cut offmachine, which cuts of the product into the ordered lengths. Jaure-Kopflex has beensupplying for many years couplings for heavy duty shears and for reliable roller tables.

In the case that the strip is directly rolled, Jaure-Kopflex can supply couplings forin line main drives, drum coilers, etc.

Ladle and handling cranes are critical equipment in the produc-tion plant. Reliability and safety become a number one priority whenhandling metals.

Jaure-Kopflex has been providing for many years gear, elastic andbarrel couplings for such equipment exceeding customer demands.

Metallurgical & Rolling mill cranes

Demands on mill profitability, productivityand product quality are on the rise in hot andcold rolling mills. Thickness and flatness toler-ances are decreasing while surface quality mustfurther improve. At the same time, mill flexibili-ty has to match the growing variety of products,

while high mill productivity (throughput andyield) is a key issue to remain competitive in theglobal economy. Mechanical drives have a greatimportance in the metal quality and millthroughput.

Hot & Cold Rolling Mills

Hot Rolling Mills

Jaure-Kopflex drives contribute to match theabove requirements in Hot & Cold Rolling mills.The supply program includes gear, elastic andspindles for Hot, Steckel, Plate mills, and longproduct rolling mills (bar, wire, billet, beams,tubes, etc).

Also Jaure-Kopflex produces high torsionalstiffness realiable drives for Cold Rolling mills.The product range includes gear, elastic cou-plings and spindles for cold tandem mills, revers-ing cold rolling mills and temper mills.

Processing, Finishing LinesThe move towards higher value-added pro-

ducts in recent years requires steel processinglines operating at high speed and with high pre-cision, creating products that satisfy ever stricterstandards for material quality and shape to-gether with low operating costs and minimumdown-time.

Jaure-Kopflex supplies couplings and drivesfor processing lines that include: pickling lines,annealing lines, hot dip galvanizing lines, colourcoating lines, etc. Couplings are also suppliedfor finishing lines as slitting lines, cut-to-lengthlines, tension levelling lines, etc.

ServiceIt is a fact that gear spindles can be repaired

for much lower cost than new ones. Neverthelessthis task needs to be assigned to a highly engi-neered company rather than a machine shop.For optimum results, the repair work must beperformed by skilled and experienced techni-cians, experts familiar with every facet of spindle

design, construction and operation. That´s whyyou should contact Jaure-Kopflex about estab-lishing a cost effective gear spindle repair pro-gram tailored to your specific needs. You will al-so get expert assistance in designing a predictiveand preventive maintenance program.
