Impression Paper Eliminates Web Handling
Waste
EZ-Nip Impression Paper from Sensor Products is an extremely economical and practical solution for determining proper crowns, roll parallelism and alignment, and symmetrical loading.
With any web-based conveyance machinery, uneven nip rollers cause web handling waste and yield deficiencies Non-uniform nips usually lead to wrinkles, web breaks and other troubles

Sensor film reduces composite parts rejection
Pressurex thin sensor film accurately maps contact surface stress to reveal inconsistencies and deformities in honeycomb cores, composite lay-ups and bonded surfaces in composite structures.
For a system maintenance engineer, identifying these little problems with big consequences can be difficult and time-consuming.
EZ-NipR, a thin color-changing pressure-activated paper, is an easy and efficient troubleshooting tool that can quickly be put to the task of detecting problem areas.
EZ-Nip determines the actual working, static, nip width between two mating rolls.
The paper immediately changes color upon the application of pressure, enabling the user to easily analyze/measure the nip "footprint" (nip width) both visually or, for more intense scrutiny, with a ruler or micrometer.
This measurement then allows the technician to adjust roll pressures accordingly to achieve the proper nip alignment.
EZ-Nip is an extremely economical and practical solution for determining proper crowns, roll parallelism and alignment, and symmetrical loading.
EZ-Nip is a self contained single sheet system making it useable by just one person, and can easily be encased for waterproofing purposes.
EZ-Nip is strictly designed for measuring nip width.
