Abstract: A magnetizable cylinder has a cylinder body formed from a magnetizable material with an outer cylindrical surface configured to receive a flexible cutting die. The cylinder body has first and second axial ends spaced apart by the outer cylindrical surface and a hollow interior. First and second journals are joined to the cylinder body with interference fits. At least one of the first and second journals has a weep hole extending through the journal into the hollow interior of the cylinder body. The interference fit of the journals to the cylinder body result from thermal changes of at least one of the first journal, the second journal, and the cylinder body prior to joining the first journal to the cylinder body and the second journal the cylinder body.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for an anvil roll has a body with first and second ends and a hollow interior. A bore extends from the first end into the hollow interior. The body is mountable to an axial end of the anvil roll at the first end. The hollow interior has first and second adjustment drives. The first adjustment drive extends from the second end of the body into the hollow interior and comprises a gear train with drive gears extending between a first adjustment operator and a first shaft extending from the body hollow interior through the bore of the body to the first end of the body. The second adjustment drive comprises a gear train with drive gears extending between a second adjustment operator and a second shaft extending from the hollow interior through the bore of the body to the first end of the body.
