Vipline rolls out VROLLER flatbed laminator

Vipline is a specialist in wide-format printing, illuminated signage and providing a range of products and services to advertisers and designers. Vipline quickly established a good reputation in its home country of Estonia, based on its commitment to using the highest quality equipment and its dedicated, hardworking team. Having identified a demand for specialist finishing applications that the market could not fulfill with existing machines, Vipline decided to create its own solution. The VROLLER has been developed using high quality components sourced from world-leading brands. It is designed to be a long lasting machine made from high hardness tool steel with 5mm and 3mm thickness, which provides a reliable and stable structure for the applicator main frame.

The moving head linear rail system is made from parts supplied by the Schaeffler Group, a German manufacturer of rolling elements and bearings since 1880 for automotive, aerospace and industrial use who also supply components to Formula 1 manufacturers and for the NASA Space Shuttle. The linear rail system uses only 5% of its capacity for weight on the VROLLER so it can comfortably cope with any product for the print industry. This also helps the machine to be long lasting and ensures that the head is always straight and does not need regular calibration. The pneumatic system, which lifts and lowers the main roll is made by the SMC Pneumatics Corporation of Japan. Since 1956, this world leading company has specialised in pneumatics and its products can be used with any type of compressors. All other components have been chosen because of their proven high-quality and robustness.
