Magnetic Cylinders
Rotometal magnetic cylinders are manufactured to a high quality standard that assures accuracy and consistency of the final product. Body made from nonmagnetic stainless steel provides an excellent protection against corrosion, does not deprive the strength of magnet power and enables high and equal adhesion of flexible die during use.
Minimum gap size tolerances guarantee the highest precision of cutting.
Print Cylinders
Rotometal print cylinders are made of special aluminium material or steel. The working surface can be anodized to protect it from scratching. The plate cylinders can be made of tube to reduce the weight.
All cylinders are supplied with standard gears, but for better quality of print we can also supply it with hardened and ground gear. Rotometal manufactures printing cylinders for all flexo machines.
ANTIFRICTION Print Cylinders
Rotometal has developed a new method for hardening printing cylinders: ANTIFRICTION. It is a breakthrough solution that optimises the friction properties and smoothness of the coating thanks to the use of the Polimeroxid matrix, which is cross-linked with a special LF4 polymer over the entire thickness section.
The use of this innovative method in the production of our printing tools has resulted in exceptional surface smoothness while maintaining high hardness, around 450 HV, depending on the aluminium alloy used.
Preparing the cylinder for work has never been easier. Thanks to the ANTIFRICTION coating, the foam tape fixing the polymer sheets is easy to change and takes much less time. ANTIFRICTION means greater efficiency and productivity at the plant level.
Air Cylinders
Air cylinders with an air adapter for applying rubber sleeves and sleeve printing cylinders. This solution allows you to work on the entire surface of the rubber sleeve and print endlessly.
The installation of the rubber is quick and easy. There are two collar rings to secure the rubber sleeve in position. This solution allows to work on entire surface of a rubber sleeve and enables an endless printing.
Anvil Cylinders
Anvil cylinders made of hardened tool steel. In order to achieve the highest manufacturing accuracy, these cylinders are manufactured on the most modern CNC machines.
Rotometal supplies Anvil Cylinders as well as Support Rollers made from high quality tool steel. Depending on the customer needs, it can be induction hardened or core hardened up to 62 +/-2 HRC. Anvils can also be made as plus or minus cylinders to compensate the difference in material thickness. Highest precision of execution ensures best possible pressure parameters, increases the lifetime, reduces the wear of dies, plates and press. Short manufacturing lead time.
Gears
We supply a variety of gears which are typically produced from steel, although other materials are also available.
We can supply Rotometal Helical or spur teeth gears in standard quality and also hardened and ground to reduce the noise, eliminate backlash problem and to ensure high quality of print.
