Roll dies are a simple and easy solution for marking repetitive information on moving products. They use less force than other indenting methods because only a fraction of the message is being indented at one time as the die rolls along the material. They are suitable for marking of a wide variety of products such as:
- extruded building materials such as siding and roofing
- bar, tube, conduit, and hose
- wire and cable
- gun barrels and parts
- soft materials such as plastic, rubber, clay, and leather
For applications where the message does not change, an engraved roller die can be made with text or logos engraved in any character size or depth so you can achieve your desired mark. Dies are manufactured with high quality tool steel and heat treated for excellent performance and longevity.
Sandwich Style Holders
Interchangeable characters and segments are held by a removable clamping plate. Good for marking applications where messages change, such as date coding and lot coding.
Mortised Style
Fitted with interchangeable wedge-shaped dies that are held in place by set screws. Extra legend inserts can be ordered to fit in each mortice.
All roll dies and holders are designed and manufactured to your exact specifications.
