Precision Rollers for Industrial Machines and Production Lines
We manufacture precision rollers for specific applications. Dimensions, geometry, material and working surface are defined by the technical documentation and the component's operating conditions.
A Roller Designed for Its Specific Function in the Machine
We define the roller design from the technical documentation, mounting method, loads and working-surface requirements. The scope may include both mechanical manufacture and final surface preparation.
Roll Body and Journals
Manufacture of the roll body, journals, mounting surfaces, threads, grooves and other features required by the design.
Working Geometry
Diameters, lengths, concentricity and other geometric features are manufactured to the requirements of the specific application.
WORKING SURFACE
The surface finish is selected for the process, the material in contact with the roller and the required operating conditions.
Grooves and Surface Structures
Grooves, cuts or other surface structures can be produced where required by the roller function and technical documentation.
Rotational Operation
The design can account for rotational speed, balancing requirements and stable operation of the roller in the machine.
Manufacturing Based on Documentation
Manufacture can be based on a technical drawing, model, existing component or an agreed technical specification.
Roller Parameters Are Defined for the Specific Application
Dimensions, geometry, material and working surface are defined by the roller function, machine design and operating conditions.

See What Defines a Precision Roller
Rotate the model, zoom in and select one of the six areas. The model will automatically position a clear view and show the role of dimensions, geometry, mounting, material, working surface and rotational operation.
The model is for illustration only. Final roller geometry, dimensions and construction are defined by the technical documentation and operating conditions in the machine.
Precision Rollers for Different Industrial Processes
Roller design depends on its function in the machine. Material guiding, pressing, transport and direct participation in the production process impose different requirements.

Custom ManufactureWhat Does a Properly Manufactured Precision Roller Provide?
Manufacturing accuracy matters beyond final inspection. It primarily affects installation, stable machine operation and process repeatability.
Correct Installation
Correctly manufactured journals, seats and datum surfaces facilitate roller installation and proper interface with the machine structure.
Stable Geometry
Maintaining the required dimensions and geometry reduces problems caused by incorrect positioning of the working section relative to the axis.
Working Surface Matched to the Process
The working-section finish can be selected for the material, contact conditions and the function performed by the roller.
Improved Rotational Performance
A design that accounts for speed and loads allows the operating and balancing requirements to be defined appropriately.
Compliance with Documentation
The finished component can be verified against the agreed dimensions, geometry and other technical requirements.
One Integrated Manufacturing Scope
The roll body, machining, working surface and inspection can be handled as one agreed manufacturing scope.
From Documentation to a Finished Roller
We define the manufacturing scope before production begins. Each stage follows from the documentation, roller function and agreed technical requirements.
Documentation
We receive a technical drawing, basic dimensions, a model or information about the existing component.
Requirements Review
We review the design, geometry, material, mounting method and working-surface requirements.
Manufacturing Scope Definition
We define the machining scope, required operations, inspection method and order conditions.
Machining
We manufacture the roll body, journals, seats, grooves and other features in accordance with the documentation.
Working-Surface Preparation
We apply the agreed surface finish, structure, grooves or suitable surface-treatment technology.
Quality Control
We verify the agreed dimensions, geometry, mating surfaces and manufacturing scope.
Roller Handover
After inspection, the finished component is prepared for collection or shipment.
We Inspect the Features That Matter in the Finished Component
The inspection scope follows the documentation and the requirements agreed for the specific order. We verify features that are important for installation, interface with the machine and correct roller operation.
