Our Manufacturing Process

Quality & Precision Crafted Into Every Roll

At Interflex, precision isn’t just part of the job—it’s our promise. Every roll and sleeve we produce follows a carefully controlled process designed to deliver consistent, high-quality engravings that keep your presses running at their best.

Step 1: Incoming Inspection

Each roll is carefully inspected for diameter runout using a micrometer and checked for wall thickness to ensure it meets our strict quality standards.

Step 2: Surface Preparation

The roll surface is prepped through a combination of sandblasting and shot peening to create the ideal texture for ceramic coating adhesion.

Step 3: Ceramic Coating Application

A high-performance plasma spray containing ceramic particulates is applied to build a durable, uniform coating layer.  

Step 4: Mirror Polishing

The ceramic-coated roll is polished to a mirror finish with a 2.00 Ra surface roughness using a vibrating diamond head, ensuring optimal engraving consistency.

Step 5: Laser Engraving

The polished roll is mounted on our state-of-the-art laser engraving system. It is checked for a tolerance of ±0.0002″ TIR before being engraved to the exact cell geometry specified.

Step 6: Final Quality Control

Every engraved roll undergoes a rigorous series of pass/fail inspections to guarantee it meets performance expectations before shipment.
