Rudder unveils ratchet bow roller
 

Bill Rudder & Associates introduced a ratchet bow roller, an on-press device that lets operators adjust registration between gear side and operator side during a press run.

The device can be used on both singlewide and doublewide presses and is engineered with a larger threaded rod, larger nut and built-in ratchet handle, eliminating strip out.

BRA said the device offers 30 percent more adjustment range and can be easily installed using existing holes.

 

Internal segments are fabricated from DOM cold roll steel and not stamped metal, BRA said, and the device doubles as an anti-static roller with an exclusive design that grounds static into side frames.
