Sigma-Nip® consists of a series of sensor elements that are placed in between two contacting rollers. Immediately upon the application of force, the sensor reveals the precise level of pressure AND where the pressure is occurring - allowing you to instantaneously determine whether your rollers are aligned properly and are squeezing together sufficiently. Sigma-Nip® is a real-time system. What that means is that your roller adjustments can be made WHILE the sensor is actually in the closed (non-rotating) nip. This allows for unprecedented flexibility and speed.
Sigma-Nip® comes complete with everything you need to quickly and accurately take nip impressions. Sigma-Nip™s software is so intuitive and user friendly within minutes even an inexperienced user will benefit from it™s powerful reports. Sigma-Nip® is designed with the intention of being used during routine maintenance or set up and is quickly disposed across the roller surface by just one person. The system is modular and portable and quickly interfaces to the USB port on any standard Windows laptop.
