Tactilus® sensor positioned in a
nip
Characterization of pressure distribution and magnitude across a nip
The Tactilus® nip measurement tool captures nip pressure and parallelism information from between any two mating rolls whether the surface is rubber, composite or metal.
Tactilus® is a real-time, static (rollers not rotating) sensor system that quickly and effortlessly allows for rapid nip contact pressure and distribution measurement. Even an inexperienced user will quickly gain valuable insight from Tactilus®. In just minutes, Tactilus® can be deployed across your nip interface and capture a wealth of valuable data.
The sensor is only one element of the overall Tactilus® system. Our userfriendly Windows® compatible software assimilates the information captured into intuitive, easy to interpret reports and images.
The Tactilus® nip measurement system aids with:
• Improving product yield
• Extending cover life
• Assuring compliance with GMP and ISO regulations
• Sharply reducing machine downtime
