Contoured urethane rollers are a particular type of rollers that require a high level of precision. Therefore, contouring and chamfering of urethane rollers are done with tools that are radiused and ground to the dimensional specification of the desired final shape. For instance, while top rake is not an ideal contouring tool needed for 95A to 75D durometers, the application of coolant using a brush does, however, help with the finishing the surface of the contoured urethane rollers.
It is noteworthy to point out that the cutting surfaces of most contouring tools are extensive and can build up heat. We only utilize highly skilled and vastly experienced technicians to know that the rollers have to keep wet throughout the entire cutting cycle, that’s where the expertise of our team of world-class engineers helps us maintain our expertise. Our specialists know the exact tool that is suitable for any particular contouring. For example, they make use of a tool with 15 to 30 degrees of top rake for the contouring of urethanes that are softer than 95A. Our engineers are cautious during the contouring of our urethane rollers, and that ensures we manufacture contoured urethane rollers that are of top-notch quality. We are proud to say that our contoured urethane rollers are among the best you can find on the global market.
