Meeting the Demands of Individual Systems

We're dedicated to producing precision rollers specifically for the web convertying industry. As a result, we know the demands placed on any roller can be quite different from system to system - even roll to roll. That's why we custom design all kinds of rollers to meet the demands of unique web handling and converting processes.

We start by reviewing both the web characteristics and the web handling process. Sensitive webs may require special roll coatings. Low tension will influence roll size, roll material and related break-away torques. Coated webs can demand special release finishes. Coating applications sometimes need superfinished rolls. Harsh environments may dictate special bearings. Heavy nip applications often require stronger roll material or unique journal designs.

The more we know about your application, the more we can apply our knowledge and expertise to the design of your precision roll. As a result, you'll get a high-performance roll design which maximizes the critical relationships of diameter, material, shaft size, face length, bearing size and process speed.

Finally, our skilled technicians will manufacture your roll in-house with strict attention to detail. The entire process of machining, grinding, balancing and finishing is done at Webex. From cradle to crate, we do it all.
