explicit customer demands, has nally manufactured a low cost equipment purposely conceived for in-house micro rolls regrinding. This redressing package can be easily installed in any roll-shop, since it requires a very limited space. Its design was based on the following guidelines: • Simple use • Maintenance free • Great accuracy • Low investment for a fast pay-back, even when only two multi-pass lines are equipped with micro-cassettes Thanks to the above, the roll stock (and its relevant capital costs) is signi cantly reduced, the risk of roll shortage can de nitively be eliminated and the total roll life increases conspicuously because the worn rolls can be reground into a new pro le. The machine also gives the possibility of producing in-house any set of rolls starting from a small stock of semi- nished rolls (ie rolls with blank barrel). Atomat is also a renowned and reliable source for roll holders and carbide rolls. The rolls are fully sintered in Italy by one of Atomat’s subsidiaries, starting from selected virgin powders (recycled powders are never used) with suitable

They can be supplied fully nished, with nal grooves already ground to the proper size and strict tolerance, or semi- nished, without the grooves which can be ground directly on site according to any speci c production needs. Rolls and supports are always available ex-stock at Atomat premises, ready to be delivered worldwide. Atomat SpA – Italy Website : www.atomat.com

In the last decade, many multi-pass drawing lines have replaced traditional dies with micro rolling cassettes because of the bene ts they provide in terms of speed and output. Until now, the disadvantage of such a trend has been that, unlike dies, rolls couldn’t be redressed in-house. The regrinding facilities are generally located at the premises of the roll or cassette manufacturers. The entailed redressing costs, the transportation charges and the customs bureaucracy make the operation inconvenient and the adoption of the cassette technology less interesting from an economical point of view. Atomat, one of the major worldwide producers of carbide rolls for cold wire rolling since 1968, heeding repeated and
