Roll Alignment Tool provides electronic nip analysis.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:56:20 -0500

Designed for converting and printing, Mini Sigma-Nip® measures nip widths of rolls with circumferences smaller than 20 in. Sensors capture data and record nip width readings while being viewed on laptop containing Windows-based software. Adjustments to load are made in real-time while sensors are in closed, non-rotating nip. Useful for continuous maintenance as well as during equipment setup and shutdown, Mini Sigma-Nip exposes problems with alignment, skewing, and crown deficiencies.
