Futek used Pressurex to help redesign several of its clamps to incorporate silicone die springs to regulate the pressure more precisely.
Now, with improved mathematical algorithms and software routines, Auto-NIS produces more accurate and repeatable results.
With Auto-NIS, proper roller crowning and alignment (parallelism) can be ascertained quickly and easily.
The system is very user-friendly, allowing even an inexperienced user to obtain meaningful data.
Roller imperfections and parallelism deviations are observable almost immediately from information indicated by Auto-NIS.
Nip impressions with unusual and complicated surface patterns can easily be interpreted.
Each image and its accompanying statistics can be saved for future comparison or downloaded to other commercial software packages for further analysis.
Auto-NIS employs sophisticated imaging algorithms, enabling the discrimination of valid data from background noise.
Auto-NIS scans at an average rate of about 1 inch (2.54 cm) per second.
