Precision in motion

In modern press shops, coil handling is a highly complex discipline – processes must be coordinated with millimetre precision to ensure that heavy metal strips are transformed into high-quality end products. This is precisely where Automatic-Systeme Dreher comes in with individually designed systems that are tailored precisely to the material, the end product and the space available at the customer's premises.

DREHER Automation's strip processing systems are used in all areas of sheet metal forming. For example, in the manufacture of large household appliances, car body parts or in the production of rotors and stators for electric motors. In these sensitive manufacturing environments, every detail is crucial – especially the components that ensure the flow of material. Whether thin aluminium or high-strength steel – at DREHER Automation, everything is perfectly tailored to the customer's process and material. The guide rollers in the roller conveyors play an important role here. The often very sensitive strip material runs over them – in direct contact with the surface. This places extremely high demands on the rollers used: Not only must they withstand high loads over long periods of time, they must also protect the material and ensure precise guidance. With the FPU 60x25/15-13K guide roller, Blickle offers a solution that is precisely tailored to the high requirements of DREHER Automation's conveyor systems. The high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tread offers a unique combination of:

• Very low rolling resistance for fast, dynamic processes
• Non-marking and contact-colouring-free surface, even with the most sensitive materials
• Extreme abrasion resistance – ideal for continuous operation in roller conveyors
• Maximum precision and service life thanks to coating sprayed directly onto the ball bearing
• High chemical resistance to the lubricants and corrosion inhibitors used

For DREHER Automation customers, this means less downtime, no rejects due to roller abrasion or surface damage, and maximum efficiency – regardless of material type, strength or surface properties.
