L/P/T FACILITIES DIRECTORY Measure PET Polymers The Davenport PETPlus Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) Measurement Instrument determines the IV of moisture-sensitive PET polymers. Also measures the degradation factor and provides the mean and standard deviation for each batch. System is supplied with a convenient integral nitrogen regulation valve for easy pressure adjustment when testing different materials. uLloyd Instruments | 727-536-7831 | www. lloyd-instruments.com PFFC-ASAP 340 # Accuracy in Core Cutting Measure Nip Widths The Mini Sigma-Nip electronic nip analysis system measures roller profiles and diagnoses roll alignment, reportedly with speed, cost-effectiveness, and accuracy. System is for measuring nip widths of rolls with circumferences smaller than 20 in. Sensors capture data and record nip width readings, and adjustments are made in real time. uSensor Products | 800-755-2201 | www.sensorprod.com PFFC-ASAP 337 Analyze Thermal Data Don’t wind good product on bad cores. Cut every core to exact length for the perfect roll every time. � ± 0.008" cut accuracy � Digital measuring systems � Burnishes ends while minimizing noise and dust � Patented instant diameter changes � Wall stocks from 0.060" to 1" � Manual or automated solutions The MP150 high-speed IR linescanner operates with a complete suite of application software to provide fast noncontact temperature measurement. The latest electronics, optics, communications, and mirror mechanisms allow the user to configure the system simply and quickly to analyze thermal data to monitor and control manufacturing processes, company says. This fourth-generation linescanner has expanded data collection capability. uRaytek | 800-227-8074 | www.raytek.com PFFC-ASAP 338 Monitor Layﬂat of Sleeves ProSleeve is a layflat measuring system used to monitor and control the finished layflat quality on machines that produce sleeve products. Uses a high-resolution CCD camera to measure the actual finished layflat widths of sleeves as they are being made on the seamer machine. Operator is notified when actual size exceeds specs or begins to drift. Filter package enhances web edges and allows system to see substrates readily and measure to a tolerance of ±0.1 mm. uBST Pro Mark | 630-833-9000 | www.bstpromark.com PFFC-ASAP 341 Test Materials at Your Level The Kinexus enables users to characterize and enhance a material’s performance with innovations in rheometer design, from sample preparation and loading, through measurement setup and operation, to data analysis and reporting. The rSpace software system allows users to work at the level appropriate to them. The rMotion drive has an adaptive air bearing that configures its operation automatically according to test conditions. uMalvern Instruments | 508-768-6400 | www.malvern.com PFFC-ASAP 339 WWW.PFFC-ONLINE.COM Don’t cut corners. Improve safety while reducing production costs. Cut cores cleaner, faster, and with less labor. No Need for Manual Testing The ReliaPull adhesion test equipment is said to reduce the human variation that results when tape tests are performed manually. With this equipment, the method is repeated exactly the same way each time, company says. Any tape on a 3-in. core that is between ¼ and 1 in. will work. uRandom Logic | 513-752-4649 | http://reliapull.net PFFC-ASAP 342 www.appletonmfg.com/p38 Neenah, Wisconsin 800-531-2002 24/7 Product Support PFFC-ASAP 125 NOVEMBER 2008 | 49 http://www.lloyd-instruments.com http://www.sensorprod.com http://www.lloyd-instruments.com http://www.raytek.com http://www.bstpromark.com http://www.malvern.com http://reliapull.net http://WWW.PFFC-ONLINE.COM
