Printing & converting
In printing presses every micron counts. ETP connections give excellent concentricity and let gears and cylinders be timed precisely to each other.
Typical examples
- Print cylinders
- Drive gears
- Anilox rollers
- Slitting knives

From the field
Label printing for the beverage industry
Stainless ETP-CLASSIC R positions timing belt pulleys with exact precision — and withstands frequent wash-down.
Printing press drive gear
A special plastic gear fastened with ETP-TECHNO. The even surface pressure limits gear expansion, giving good runout, low imbalance and less noise.
Digital printer subsystem
ETP-EXPRESS chosen for fast mounting and minimal space — enabling a more compact design that improves paper quality before printing.
Aluminum beverage can printing
A custom ETP solution with two pressure chambers clamps and centers the cylinders. Higher runout accuracy and much shorter downtime than the mechanical clamping sets used before.
