Sensors for roller alignment and
crowning
Sensor Products has developed Sigma-Nip, sensors linked on a plastic carrier sheet for the maintenance of roller alignment and roller crowning.
Sensor Products has developed Sigma-Nip with powerful features to speed up and make more accurate the routine maintenance of roller alignment and roller crowning Sigma-Nip has sensors that are deployed right on the nip surface, giving instantaneous real-time feedback on nip condition

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.
Pressure-indicating sensor film for QA
Sensor Products has announced Pressurex, a tactile pressure-indicating sensor film that helps assure quality in food and drug packaging.
But most importantly, our clients who have tested Sigma-Nip believe it will help them minimise mill downtime, avoid costly web breaks, and extend cover life.
* The sensors linked on a plastic carrier sheet can measure and detect nip width at up to 30 discreet points across the cross-direction (CD).
* The sensors are more durable and long-lasting.
They can also easily be dispersed across the nip by just one person.
* Its software interface is highly refined and Microsoft Vista compliant.
It is also more robust, allowing for comparative analysis and detailed adjustments while the sensor is in the closed (non-rotating) nip.
* Sigma-Nip is extremely lightweight and portable.
This means it can be quickly carried and used throughout the plant to align roller sets.
It connects through a wireless connection or USB port to any Windows-based laptop or tablet.
* This powerful tool tolerates pressures of 3,000 PSI (211 kg/cm2), making it potentially usable on calendar rolls.
Tactilus, our matrix-based tactile surface sensor with Windows-based proprietary software, is used to record surface pressure distribution.
As well as Pressurex, a thin flexible film that instantly captures and permanently records pressure distribution and magnitude between two contacting surfaces.
