Technical advantages of our cylinders
Our cylinders are made of high-strength stainless steel and special alloys that allow for superior performance even in intensive production conditions.
These materials not only offer high resistance to wear and corrosion, but also ensure a longer component lifespan.
The heat–treated axles and running tracks achieve a higher hardness of up to 62 HRC, thus guaranteeing their prolonged performance under high loads and speeds.
In terms of precision, the cylinders are machined with CNC technology that allows for extremely tight tolerances, of up to -/+ 0.003 mm.
This millimeter-level manufacturing capability contributes to the stability of the registration and prevents deviations during die-cutting or printing, which are crucial factors in achieving consistent results.
Additionally, technical customization is one of our major differentiators: we can adapt the weight of the cylinder according to the equipment, offer different types of coatings according to the type of ink or substrate, and integrate specific components such as positioning pins or structural reinforcements.
These adaptations allow each cylinder to fit perfectly into the customer’s workflow.
✅ High durability and resistance to demanding environments
✅ Maximum compatibility with flexo, offset, and varnishing equipment
✅ Accuracy that minimizes errors, waste, and rework
Key benefits for your company
Optimize your time: quick changes and less need for unscheduled maintenance allow you to keep production active with minimal interruptions, significantly speeding up processes and reducing downtime.
Save on operating costs: thanks to the robustness of the materials and the optimized design of the cylinders, their lifespan is extended, reducing the frequency of replacements and the cost of repairs, which improves the profitability of operations in the long term.
Consistent accuracy: each cylinder guarantees dimensional stability and precise ink or varnish transfer, even in long runs, allowing for homogeneous results in different printing cycles without the need for frequent adjustments.
