Dynamic 3D nip impulse measurement: 3D nip impulse measurement enables real-time insight of nip conditions

摘要

paraXerium Technologies Inc., Youngsville/US with its subsidiary Stowe Woodward AG, Heidenheim/Germany, a global market leader in roll covers and spreader rolls, has taken a further development step in the area of nip analysis. With Smartsup®/sup 5.0, papermakers are now in the position to observe the press nip performance in real time and under dynamic production conditions. With the assistance of the combined display of nip load, nip impulse and nip width, the paper machine is able to operate at the peak performance range. The UPM Schongau PM6 field study, where the new nip profiling technology was introduced in EMEA, shows how efficiently the optimized press nip performance can affect the overall productivity./para
