Engraving stylus, also called diamond stylus, engraving needle, engraving knife or carving needle, installed in engraving machines, is used to engrave text, images or pattern on the copper cylinder.
Engraving Stylus, Sliding Shoe and Burr Cutter are precision diamond tools for Rotogravure plate-making industry. All of these diamond tools are mounted on the engraving head which is a core component of the engraving machine.
A diamond stylus for the rotogravure industry is a precision tool used in the rotogravure printing process. It is a small, pointed tip made of diamond, which is renowned for its hardness and durability.
In rotogravure printing, the 8k diamond stylus is used to engrave fine lines and details onto a cylinder or plate. The engraving needle is attached to a mechanical device that moves it along the surface of the cylinder or plate in a controlled manner. As the stylus moves, it removes a thin layer of material, creating the desired image or pattern.
The diamond stylus for the rotogravure industry is crucial for achieving high-quality prints with fine details, sharp edges, and accurate reproduction of images and text. The hardness and sharpness of the diamond allow it to create precise and consistent engraving, and ensure the reproduction of intricate designs and high-resolution images.
The use of diamond styli in the rotogravure industry helps achieve high print quality, efficiency, and productivity in applications such as package printing, labels, magazines, and commercial printing.
Diamond engraving styli without wing are available in different shapes, sizes, and tip geometries to suit specific rotogravure applications and printing requirements.
As a professional engraving stylus manufacturer, Litian Century Diamond Tools can produce all kinds of Engraving styli for HELL gravure systems, OHIO gravure systems and MDC gravure systems. 20+ years' experience, strongly production capacity and first-class material make our engraving stylus can meet the engraving requirements of all kinds of products, especially for the high-grade cylinder engraving.

Applicable Machine:
HELL Engraving stylus without wing is suitable for 8KHZ frequency electronic engraving machine, just like: Helio Gravures K500, K405, K305, K500C, K50C, K55C, K5SMART and some other Gravure machines.
Attentions:
When you install the electronic engraving stylus, please don't touch the diamond cutting edge directly with your hands or other objects. If you need to wipe it, please use isopropyl alcohol, acetone& a lint free cloth or an elder pitch. If you need more aggressive cleaning in order to remove a particular contaminant, please contact us.
Broken Engraving Stylus
The engraving stylus may break for various reasons.
Possible causes of Broken stylus tip
1. Broken tips result from incorrect setting at the engraving amplifier. The stylus penetrates more deeply than actually intended for the cut of the diamond; the rear "free" facets of the stylus hit the copper with each cut which result in the stylus overloaded and broken prematurely!
2. Impurities in the copper and excessive Vickers hardness also cause breakage. Its inclined position minimizes the risk of breakage. The cut of the stylus diamond is designed for a specific cutting behavior. The respective forces occurring during the cutting and burr removal stroke are therefore coped for with no problem. Once the force directions acting on the diamond change, the tip will break. An insufficient Vickers hardness results in poor chip removal and therefore in a poor (blurred) engraving image.
3. Other causes of tip breakage may be due to incorrect handling, such as when setting down the engraving system hard with the sliding spindle set too short, etc.
