by Christian M. Reidler

In many machines of the paper, metal, converting and printing industries, rolls are the carriers of the material web.

According to Pedro Casanova, Manager of the Alignment Division, “The alignment of machine trains can be a lengthy task. In the past, alignment data of the entire machine train had to be manually graphed to scale in order to determine the optimal moves. The ROTALIGN ULTRA laser alignment tool can now instantly graph the alignment results of an entire machine train of up to fourteen machines to scale-maximizing efficiency and minimizing frustration. You can optimize an alignment centerline through a machine train to minimize corrective moves everywhere. Forget graph paper!”
