Real-Time Nip Width Sensing
Never before have nip readings been so instantaneous and easily accomplished!
Take instant readings of nip for printers or rollers at the point of production or in the workplace when using our P-Nip® portable device with its flexible sensor element clamped in place.
Revolutionary new P-Nip® allows you to take instant spot readings of nip width on your roller sets. Handheld and battery operated P-Nip® is ideal for quick and accurate nip measurements in your production line as well as R&D facilities.
"Whether you are measuring spool alignment in a cash register printer or doing QA for advanced office printers, P-Nip® is the perfect addition to your engineering toolkit!"~ Jeffrey G. Stark, CEO
