Abstract
The precision engraving of biscuit shapes onto large brass rollers is a critical task in producing biscuit making machines (1). This paper initially outlines the traditional design office and machining techniques that were used to produce biscuit rollers. It then goes on to describe the implementation of a pioneering new engraving method that uses state of the art CAD/CAM techniques. DNC is linked to a custom designed high speed CNC engraving machine that itself is at the forefront of machine tool technology. The production engineering, financial and marketing advantages of the new system are highlighted, and potential enhancements to this system are discussed.
