Roll Condition Monitoring Like Never Before

Tactilus Cascade^® - an electronic nip analysis system, calculates and records nip width at multiple points across your rollers face length in real-time with unprecedented speed, acuracy and repeatability. This new system is not only more accurate, but can record higher pressures than ever previously attainable.

Tactilus Cascade^® presents a revolution in quality control. Tactilus Cascade^® consists of a series of thin-fi lm resistive ink pressure transducers on a carrier sheet. As this carrier sheet is loaded in between your rollers, Windows^® based software assimilates the readings into easilyinterpretable graphical images - all in real-time.

What is Tactilus Cascade^®?

The Tactilus Cascade^® nip sensor system is the first of its kind. Tiny sensing points dispersed across the sensor surface collect data in the machine direction and cross direction of your roller set. The Cascade^® sensor transmits the collected data via RF to your laptop and allows for continuous monitoring and evaluation of any two mating rolls. The defining element of the Tactilus Cascade^® that makes it so unique is its ability to clearly indicate actual pressure values across the roller interface – conventional systems capture data via a grid of sensor points that necessitate the user determining whether problems are caused by sensor alignment or roller misalignment.

Designed For Productivity

The Tactilus Cascade^® comes complete with everything you need to quickly and accurately take nip impressions. Cascade’s software is so intuitive and user friendly that within minutes even an inexperienced user will benefit from its powerful reports.

The Tactilus Cascade^® is designed with the intention of being used during routine maintenance or setup and is quickly applied across the roller surface by just one person. The system is modular and portable and quickly connects to the USB port on any standard Windows laptop.

Cascade^® Technology

Through the application of sophisticated mathematical algorithms, Tactilus^® is able to discern the pressure distribution between nip rolls with a high degree of accuracy never before attainable. Each sensor is individually calibrated, serialized and carefully assembled to exacting tolerances.
