Intended Use and Restrictions on Use
What is nip width?
In order to transfer ink and fountain solution evenly and in sufficient quantities
onto the medium to be printed, pressure between the hard / soft rollers pairs
involved is required. A measure of the pressure is the width of the contact zone or
the contact strip width (NIP width).
The Contact Zone Measuring System NIP CON SMART was developed for determining
the NIP width in printing presses. It is used for setting and checking the inking and
dampening unit hard / soft paired rollers.
The diameter of the soft roller can have values between up to 300
mm. The diameter of the hard roller can be any size. It can be used
for a rubber hardness of 20 - 60 Shore A with rubber blanket thick-
nesses of 5 - 20 mm.
The intended use of the measuring system also includes the use of the sensors
supplied by PITSID. The handheld device is neither water nor dustproof and is
therefore only suitable for use in dry interiors.
IMPORTANT
If the application limits of the device are exceeded, sensor failures
and markings on cylinder surfaces can result.
