Fixturlaser 200, by VibrAlign, uses lasers to position rolls for web handling operations. The system can align large roll facilities, with memory able to store eight measurements of 50 rolls each. Result resolution can be as fine as one micron. Based on similar technology, the Fixturlaser Shaft 100 or 200 can both be upgraded to a Fixturlaser Roll 200.

Kleentest, an oil analysis report from Kleentek, is designed to provide easily understood testing data for hydraulic and lubricating oils. The test checks for particulates and products of oil oxidation at the molecular level. Kleentest examines gravimetric weight, colorimetric value, total water content and acid numbers, kinematic viscosity, and specific gravity.

Caristrap’s 105WG non-metallic strapping system -- a substitute for 1 1/4 x .031 steel strapping -- is made of elastic polyester fibers that ensure load integrity without sharp edges to damage paper loads. At 1/7 the weight of steel, 105WG does not require protective gear when handled. 105WG strapping is unaffected by cold, heat, or high humidity. Each coil weighs under 10 lb, and holds 660 ft of strapping. Caristrap

Neles Controls’ digester capping valve solutions offer fast, automated operation of the chip fill process that can be accessed remotely for increased safety. The units are equipped with security features to prevent false operation during pressurization. Retrofitting is easy because the lower half of the valve body can be modified in accordance with the digester top flange for a direct fit. Neles Controls

The Goebel Optima slitter rewinder from Matik North America features a slitter cassette for fast changeovers, a wrapped sheer slitting system, and unwind brakes that handle a wide range of materials.

Lorentzen & Wettre’s ZD tensile tester measures internal bond strength in multi-ply paper with a high degree of accuracy. The coefficient of variation is as low as 2% to 4%. Since the measurement testers are fully automatic, the tester eliminates any potential for human error. Measurements are taken according to the TAPPI T 541 and SCAN P80 standards, and the calibration is traceable. Lorentzen & Wettre
