Measuring Principle
To determine the contact strip width (NIP width), sensors are positioned between the
rollers to be measured. By creating pressure in the active sensor area, the width of
the contact zone is detected.
This value depends on the roller diameters, the rubber hardness
and the rubber thickness. By entering these roller parameters, these
influences on the contact strip width is taken into account

The measuring system was checked before delivery. Please check the
delivery for completeness and transport damage after unpacking. In
the event of damage or missing system components, contact the
supplier or manufacturer.
6.2 Operation and Control Elements, Connections
The measuring system is generally operated with a PC, tablet or smartphone.
Operating and control elements are an essential part of the software.
The necessary functionality on the hand-held device (Figure 1) was
supplemented by information elements.
Fig. 1. Hand-held device
The hand-held device is secured against unintentional start-up with
the slide switch (9) set to
OFF
during shipping. Set the slide switch to
ON
before the initial start-up.
6.3 Sensor
The sensors used are foil potentiometers. The sensors are connected to the jacks
(6) on the hand-held device and measure the nip width in the active sensor area.
