Nip Pressure Measurement

The Nip Pressure Alignment Tool™ (NPAT™) is a complete nip pressure and force measurement tool that takes the guesswork out of machine set-up. By using real-time data, the NPAT verifies uniform pressure and nip contact. The tool measures and displays, in real-time, nip widths between 6.35 mm (.25") and 215.9 mm (8.5").

Key Features:

Configurable array of sensing bands
Carrier to keep the bands/housing properly aligned during use
Enclosure for the Evolution™ handle that protects electronics in more rugged applications
Bands that can be easily replaced and serviced in-field
Three sensor model resolutions to support different roll sizes
Easily rolled up for storage

Benefits of Measuring Nip Pressure:

Clear visual representation of pressure distribution, nip width, and cross width
Ensures proper alignment
Prevents equipment and product damage
Provides quantifiable and credible data
Easily maintained in-field
