Komcan Adds DigiNip for Roller Measurement

Komcan is now distributing DigiNip Sensor technology for fast and accurate nip readings of roller alignment. DigiNip is a handheld electronic nip sensor system that provides diagnosis of roller conditions at the nip contact point.

Komcan explains the system requires minimal investment and no prior experience to accurately record spot nip width at any section of the web or sheetfed process. The product allows for nip readings to be determined instantly and adjustments made while the DigiNip sensors are between your rolls.

The sensor elements that connect into the DigiNip device are designed to provide thousands of readings before replacement is necessary. The technology is designed to act rapidly on the cause of problems, not on the effects.

It is estimated that DigiNip allows users to reduce nip measurement time by at least 50 percent, while also significantly reducing paper waste and providing ink savings based on better water/ink emulsion.
