Hiawatha
has built a proprietary library of tooling with approximately 60 different tool
combinations used in the molding process, which will work for approximately 80%
of rubber roller styles. This eliminates custom tooling saving the customer
substantial dollars. Additionally, using dedicated equipment and operators,
Hiawatha provides a unique service called “Quick-Rolls” which is for prototype
and short runs of molded rollers delivered in 1 to 2 weeks.
To
achieve the right custom roller design, Hiawatha Rubber engineers, chemists and
technicians partner with a customer’s design group to develop a solution that
best meets the required design criteria. This includes selecting the right
rubber compound, then developing the correct molding and bonding process,
followed by accurate grinding of the roller to correct dimensional and surface
finish for highest level performance. Hiawatha’s in-house, lower cost grinding
department specializes in achieving custom finishes and special crowning to
achieve specific feeding characteristics and longer wearing rollers. Custom
finishes range from ultra smooth (polished) to extremely coarse (crepe).
Within
its roller expertise, Hiawatha Rubber provides an alternative to heavy solid core
designs, particularly for diameters larger than 1.5 inches and for larger
quantity requirements. Hiawatha is also a leading supplier of laser printer
(charge) rollers and crowned rollers for copiers and printers, providing years
of special compound development and precision grinding technology to meet the
specialized needs of these industries.
In
addition to in-house formulation chemistry, Hiawatha Rubber provides CAD design
tooling, injection transfer molding, CNC grinding and CNC machining. Value added
services available for custom roller designs include bearing assembly, plastic
or metal gears, drilling and tapping components, precision journal grinding,
plastic to rubber bonding, metal-to-rubber bonding and segmented roller
assembly.
Hiawatha
Rubber is ISO 9001:2000 certified. In-process quality controls include
computerized data collection utilizing laser micrometers, CMM (Coordinate
Measuring Machines), and statistical process control.
