Furnishing Rollers

Furnishing rollers can be used for many different printing applications. They’re essential tools for feeding printing ink along a roller engraved with a pattern or design.

The surface areas of the furnishing rollers are engraved via ITR laser engraving, a high-precision process that ensures consistent and accurate engraving. The rollers consist of a fine holding cell or line structure TPI (threads per inch), which allows for an even coating with the correct and exact density, resulting in high-quality print output.

NW Rollers, with over 30 years of experience, has a long-established, highly regarded reputation in manufacturing furnishing rollers in the UK. Our expertise and commitment to quality make us a trusted choice for your printing needs.

Furnishing Rollers: The Process

The roller manufacturing process is a testament to our commitment to precision and quality. Each of the following steps is taken to ensure that each roller meets the most demanding of standards and needs:

• Precision engineering of aluminium cores
• ITR laser engraving of printing rollers is computer-controlled
• Industry-leading adhesives for durable bonding
• Digital balancing to remove the risk of roller vibrations. The balancing allows rollers to rotate smoothly for longer and at high speeds without servicing.
• Anodising rollers for surface protection
• Grinding and turning on CNC machining centres—these are computerised, numerically controlled machines using pre-programmed software to enhance precision manufacturing. This means our rollers are more dimensionally accurate with superior concentricity, resulting in superior lamination and print quality.

Lastly, we conduct final quality control checks and measurements to ensure that all our rollers meet our high standards. Our rollers are designed to give outstanding ink transfer, even to the smallest cells, ensuring superior print quality.
