Cylindrical Pattern Mold

Cylindrical Pattern Mold

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Yokohama.
We are enjoying spring flowers and warm air.

Today's topic is a pattern mold.
We support continuous patterning by cylinders and belts.
In other words we help our customers to go beyond sheet by sheet patterning in 2 ways.

First, Nickel welded cylinders
Some of our customers use Nickel patterned plates to perform sheet by sheet patterning.
We take out patterned areas from Nickel plates and weld these pieces to make a patterned cylinder.
We call it 'a tiling belt,' for patterned pieces are connected together.
Find the picture below.




Nickel plates are thin and a welded cylinder is also thin.
We make a core, too, so that this thin cylinder fits the roll core.
When the roll core rotates, outside patterned cylinder also rotates and patterns are transferred to materials.

Second, we can provide cylindrical substrates that press the work while patterns are transferred form the patterned roll to the work, like the blue belt below.


We provide both stainless steel and Nickel belts.
