Roller check
January 1st 2006

To assist with the alignment of rollers, Pruftechnik AG has introduced the Paralign inertial alignment system, a compact measurement device that contains three high precision laser gyroscopes.

Paralign 'learns' the ideal position of the rollers on a reference roller or plate. Simply by placing the system on the next roller surface, the actual position of the individual roller is compared with the ideal alignment and the deviation is shown immediately as graphical and numerical information on the display.

Data are transmitted to a laptop by radio transmission. This shows a side view of the machine where the deviations of every measured roller from its ideal position are displayed. Measurement results are said to be quick, more precise and are can be reproduced.
