Many standard designs of roll type holders for different applications.

Roll Type Holder Application Application
Information

The proprietary design by Columbia Marking Tools has a heavy duty build for high force applications along with easy to use features. The step in the cover plate retains the type in the holder while a take-up plate, provided with each holder, holds the type in perfect alignment.

The hub extends 1/16” past the cover plate allowing the plate to be released while the holder remains firmly locked in the carriage. A truly time-saving feature.

The roll type holder in combination with the dovetail roll carriage minimizes changeover times and reduces tooling costs

  • The no-tooling required changeover of the dovetail allows for quick and easy removal.
  • The individual wedge type allows for flexibility of marking legend without the investment in an extensive inventory of roll dies
  • Multi-Character dies offer a time savings in tooling setup for common portions of the marking legend including company name, and part numbers.
