Nip Width Measurement Device

P-Nip® is the world’s first handheld nip width measurement device for instantaneous nip readings. Operators of rollers, laminators, coaters, and printers with rolls less than 39 inches (1 meter) in length can now get instant spot readings of nip width using P-Nip, an innovative new tool developed by Sensor Products Inc. This handheld portable electronic device allows the capture of nip readings at multiple discrete locations across the roller sets’ face length (cross direction) as determined by the user. It is designed for nips that are 1/16 to ½ inches (1.6 to 12.7 millimeters). Similar in size to a PDA, P-Nip consists of an LCD display with a small replaceable sensor finger that extends from the top (pictured below). Recording the spot values simply involves inserting this sensor “finger” into the nip. P-Nip’s memory allows users to store the readings for later comparison and evaluation. It is ideal for quick, yet accurate (± 2%) nip measurements. Readings
