Deep Hole Drilling for Printing and Paper Machinery
Printing presses and paper making machines are built around large rollers and drums. Every roller in a printing press or paper machine needs a through-bore for heating, cooling, or weight reduction. Some of these rollers are the largest components I have ever drilled in the industrial roller category. I have drilled rollers for newspaper printing presses, commercial sheet-fed presses, and paper mill drying sections. The materials range from chilled cast iron to hardened steel to rubber-covered rollers with steel cores. Many of the principles from industrial roller deep hole drilling apply here, but the scale and material variety are greater. ...
