Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0808723A1] The invention concerns a method for removing the chromium plating and the engraving from gravure rollers (2), formed by a metallic shell (21) galvanically covered with a copper coat (22) on which an engraving can be impressed and a chromium protective covering (23) is galvanically settled, including the following operations: make said cylinder (2) turn around its longitudinal axis (3); remove said chromium covering (23) by contrasting bodies (41) belonging to at least one first rotating disk (4); smooth said copper coat (22) down below said chromium covering (23), by at least a second rotating disk provided with abrasive elements. Said removing of said chromium covering (23) is determined by the breaking of the chromium covering (23) itself which is obtained through the elastic collapsing of the down below copper coat (22) when said contrasting bodies (41) interfere against said chromium coat (23). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
