A Precision Sliding Flange Roller

A combination roller has been devised with sliding flanges to accommodate both 16 mm and 35/32mm film on the same printing machine. This roller is precisely built and the flanges can be moved to the required film width in a few seconds. The flanges will return to their proper positions within a tolerance of 0.001 in. The roller lands always remain the same diameter, and the flanges remain the same height; the commonly used drop-center combination roller does not have there advantages. The sliding flange roller is of great value on printing machines in film laboratories, particularly when large quantities of 16mm and 35/32mm film are to be printed. This roller has been in successful operation on several additive panel printers for over a year. The sliding flange roller can be used on any laboratory equipment where a combination roller is required.
