Roller Alignment Device

Eastern Applied Research, Inc is now offering
a Digital-Nip Device for easier roller alignment...

This Digital-Nip Device is a powerful new system that allows for quick and easy diagnosis of roller conditions - the nip contact point.  With minimal investment, and no prior experience, a user can quickly and accurately record spot nip (contact point between rollers) width at any section of your web or sheetfed process. 

The devices sensing capability is fast and sensitive - it will eliminate carbon papers time consuming and inaccurate nip measurements.  Now nip readings can be determined instantaneously and adjustments can be made while the sensor is between your rolls!  Digital-Nip measuring is also economical as the sensor elements that connect to the device provide thousands of readings before replacement is needed.

Details of the digital on-press roller Nip measuring gauge:
-  Displays immediate measurement of roller nip
-  Dual sensor system indicates "parallelism" of roller to roller contact zone
-  Utilizes "sensor strip" technology
-  Users can do roller adjustments while the sensors are in the nip
-  No ink water rolls are needed
-  Saves time (and money) in roller maintenance
-  Suitable for any roller-to-roller Nip (except metal to metal)
-  Accuracy at +/- 5%

Benefits summary of the Digital-Nip Measurement unit:
-  Helps improve quality and consistency
-  Saves hours of maintenance time (and associated costs)
-  Can extend the life of rollers
-  Reduces costly downtime
-  Sensor strips provide thousands of readings before needing replacement
