Roll type holder for lathes

The spring-return type holder from the 1520 group was specially developed for use on CNC machines, lathes and modern machining centres. It enables workpieces to be marked quickly, cleanly and permanently during production – without any additional work steps, without repositioning the part and without an external marking system.

This makes it the perfect solution for companies that want to integrate marking directly into the production process and have the highest demands on precision, traceability and flexibility.

Why integrated marking is indispensable today

In many industries, clear and permanent marking is mandatory or strongly recommended – for example, to comply with product liability, traceability or quality assurance requirements. Typical markings include:

• Item numbers
• Material grades
• Company names or logos
• Batch numbers
• Date of manufacture / production codes

With our Röltgen roll-off systems, this marking is applied directly on the lathe, eliminating the need for additional workpiece handling.

The advantages of the roll-off type holder at a glance

✔ Workpieces come out of the lathe fully marked

There is no need for any downstream marking steps – saving time, personnel and production space.

✔ No more mix-ups

As the marking is done during machining, each part remains clearly identified.

✔ Significant time and cost savings

External stamping machines, hand stamps or separate workstations are no longer necessary.

✔ Maximum flexibility thanks to interchangeable types

Letters, numbers, logos and block types can be changed individually and freely combined – ideal for variable markings.

✔ Clean and precise marking

The roll-off process ensures consistent, razor-sharp results – independent of the operator and absolutely reproducible.

✔ No extra workpiece handling

Marking is fully integrated into CNC machining.

✔ Automatic return – only one embossing at a time

Thanks to spring return, the holder automatically returns to the zero point after each operation.

Overwriting the marking is impossible.

✔ One roll-off type for different diameters

The short roll-off movement allows different workpiece diameters to be marked with only one embossing roller.

Previously, a separate tool was required for each diameter.

How the rolling process works in detail

1. The desired text is rolled once.The holder embosses the text cleanly and completely into the rotating workpiece.
2. No double strikes possible.The text cannot be overwritten because there is only one contact.
3. Automatic return (spring return).After embossing, the type holder automatically returns to its starting position.
4. Ready for immediate use in the next cycle. The next embossing process can be started immediately without having to change any settings.

This mode of operation makes the process particularly safe, efficient and stable.
