New Developments in Electrical Discharge Texturing

This paper reviews the latest developments in roll texturing technology. 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 are presented, which include Ra consistency, high peak count (Rpc) results, including 3D surface topography analysis, and texturing time improvements. The latest results in extending roll campaign lengths using electrical discharge coating technology are also reviewed.
