Advances in Roll Texturing Performance Delivered by the Multi-Servo Array EDT

The latest developments in roll texturing technology are reviewed including the introduction of digital servos and improved energy efficiency. The introduction of Multi-Servo Array (MSA) is pushing the boundaries of what is possible, allowing roll shops to produce textured rolls with higher peak counts and greater consistency in less time than ever before. Detailed technical results will be presented, including on Ra consistency, high peak count (Rpc), defect removal and speed. Results from the first two MSAs to be commissioned in the market will be included.
