Air roller and mirror roller offer nipping and smooth surface for sheet forming.

The flexible air roller is a thin metal sleeve having a hollow pneumatic structure. Although this is a metal roller, it realizes a plane contact like a rubber roller. This plane contact brings many effects in sheet forming.

Features

• Compared with a line contact formed between hard metal rollers, the plane contact can be secured with this metal roller.This results in effective moderate pressurization.
• Effective for transcription of mirrored and embossed surface
• Metal surfaces offer abrasion and heat resistance

Application example: Pressure bonding roller in lamination

Flexible mirror roller

Applications

• Forming rollers for various plastic films and sheets
• Laminating rollers
• Various rollers in printing machines

Dimensions in mm

• Outside diameter: φ500 max
• Length: 2000L max
• Thickness: 0.03 - 1.00mmt

Notes: The roller itself has no cooling or heating function. The dimension range depends on the combinations of diameter, length and thickness.
