The archive<\/a> consists of a heritage of about 1500 drawings and photos, 600 hand-chiseled models and bronze castings, 800 chalk and resin molds, 2700 matrices and hundreds of tools, mostly created by hand and through traditional methods. Moreover, samples of thousands of custom-made objects, today stored in numbered boards, collections and compilations are in the process of being stored. The eye-catcher for the wide stretch of\u00a0punches<\/a>\u00a0for hammering decors,\u00a0stored in the various drawers, is the image that best sums up the seventy year long activity.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” text=”from drawing to artefact” url=”https:\/\/www.archivionegroni.it\/en\/knowledge\/#know-how”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”rollers” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#788b7d” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”rolling mill pattern rollers” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height_tablet=”600″ custom_height_phone=”500″ custom_height=”20″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1607890606238{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]These are the interchangeable parts in a rolling mill, used to cold-press metal bands through the passage between two rollers, in order to obtain decorative and contoured effects, either geometrical or graphic, which today become original and sophisticated textures.
