ParAlign is a unique, non-optical measurement method using inertial technology designed to measure the parallelism of rolls in production installations in the paper, print, converting, steel industries, and web-handling/roll to roll transfer processes.
Misalignment in rolling machinery can lead to wasted material, inconsistent or low-quality products, and excess machine wear. Properly aligned rolls perform better, create more consistent products, and reduce wear and tear on machinery.
Three-ring laser gyroscopes enable the ParAlign to take measurements in three-dimensional space (roll, pitch, and yaw). No line of sight is required, which creates consistent, reproducible results.
